Socialism

He was a playwright from Ireland. George Bernard Shaw was a playwright and a novelist. He was born on July 26, 1856 in Dublin, Ireland. He died on November 2, 1950 at the age of 94.

Socialism (economics) and Communitarianism (culture). The ideology in the book was called "Nationalism", which has little to do with the actual real-world definition of nationalism and patriotism.

Democratic socialism, defined as a political movement that seeks to create a post-capitalist economy based on market socialism or economic planning, does not exist as a major political force in Canada.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are normally considered to be the creators of the socialist system. This was done based on the thoughts and ideas of many others

An economic system where goods and services are produced for use and decisions regarding investment and the allocation of factors of production are determined by decentralized planning, where management within organizations is democratic.

This goes hand-in-hand with a society where individuals are free to maximize their potential and realize self-actualization in a non-exploitative and non-alienating society.

The UAW is a veil for socialism. Unions had their place, but they're not needed anymore. The UAW has destroyed the big three. I say we let them fall. People aren't going to quit buying vehicles when GM is gone. The market will take care of itself. Other manufacturers will step up production or a new company may rise from the ashes of GM. Hopefully, a company not bound by the UAW.

Socialism was not a well-elaborated political theory at that point.

No: the USSR was state capitalist, not Socialist. Socialism is a classless stateless society based on production for use.

The main moral is "to avoid one evil one should take care not to fall into another"(the animals kicked the farmer out in hopes of a better life but became more miserable under the pigs).

Communism says that there is no such thing as equality in the farm/communism

Also the animals were told they were living a better life , however the fact is they were living in an illusion (like the North Koreans) and were in fact worse off than before.

At first it was democratic (Napoleon and Snowball) but after Napoleon's reign, the pigs under thought that their new freedom was getting taken away, so they slowly decided to dominate the other animals and took away their rights and made them more miserable than ever. The pigs who were the smarter animals of the revolution who kick out the human beings but after awhile become worse than those they replaced.

After the revolution is democracy (Napoleon and Snowball) and after the coup its dictatorship (Napoleon).

Also, Orwell's message was mainly power is very powerful. If you abuse your power, you may well lose it. Evidence is when Mr. Jones had total power over the farm, but he was ignorant, and lost his power. Napoleon also abused his power in many ways too.

Why should anyone be a better teacher just because of the gender?

It's the personality that counts. Differences between personalities is WAY larger than gender differences.

Yes, I suppose that is true. But surely the government is supposed to do that in all forms of government. If the Government doesn't have a large influence on the economy of the state, however it is governed, what else is there for the government to do ? Do you suggest the economy should be outside the control of the government ? Because surely if it is what you are voting for is also beyond the control of your vote to influence.

-----TRUE

In a socialist system, the government or state typically plays a central role in determining the types of work citizens may engage in. This is often based on collective needs, planning, and the overall goals of the economy, with an emphasis on equitable distribution of resources and services. Decisions may also involve input from workers' councils or cooperatives, reflecting the interests of the community. Ultimately, the aim is to align individual work with societal goals rather than purely market-driven choices.

Yes socialism emerged during the Industrial Revolution because the workers believed that they should control the means of production.

As of October 2023, countries often described as socialist dictatorships include North Korea, where the ruling Kim family has maintained strict control over the government and economy, and Cuba, which has a one-party system led by the Communist Party. Venezuela is also frequently cited due to the authoritarian practices of its government under Nicolás Maduro, despite its claims of socialism. Other nations, like China, have significant state control over the economy and political dissent, though they also incorporate market elements.

In Marxist philosophy, the bourgeoisie refers to the capitalist class that owns the means of production and controls economic resources in a capitalist society. Marx viewed the bourgeoisie as the ruling class that exploits the proletariat, or working class, who sell their labor for wages. This relationship creates inherent class conflict, as the interests of the bourgeoisie often contradict those of the proletariat, leading to social and economic inequalities. Ultimately, Marx envisioned a revolutionary transformation where the proletariat would overthrow the bourgeoisie, leading to a classless society.

According to socialism, genuine freedom presupposes the collective ownership and control of the means of production, which enables equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. It emphasizes that true freedom cannot exist in a system where economic inequality and exploitation prevail. Thus, socialism advocates for social and economic structures that empower individuals and communities, ensuring that everyone has access to the necessities of life and the ability to participate fully in society.

National Socialism, often associated with the Nazi Party in Germany, was primarily founded by Adolf Hitler. He became the party's leader in the early 1920s and shaped its ideology, which combined elements of nationalism, racism, and anti-communism. The movement gained significant traction after World War I, ultimately leading to Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s.

Shaw asserted that each social class strove to serve its own ends, and that the upper and middle classes won in the struggle while the working class lost. He condemned the democratic system of his time, saying that workers, ruthlessly exploited by greedy employers, lived in abject poverty and were too ignorant and apathetic to vote intelligently. He believed this deficiency would ultimately be corrected by the emergence of long-lived supermen with experience and intelligence enough to govern properly. He called the developmental process elective breeding but it is sometimes referred to as shavian eugenics, largely because he thought it was driven by a "Life Force" that led women --- subconsciously --- to select the mates most likely to give them superior children. The outcome Shaw envisioned is dramatised in Back to Methuselah, a monumental play depicting human development from its beginning in the Garden of Eden until the distant future.

In 1882, influenced by Henry George's views on land nationalization, Shaw concluded that private ownership of land and its exploitation for personal profit was a form of theft, and advocated equitable distribution of land and natural resources and their control by governments intent on promoting the commonwealth. Shaw believed that income for individuals should come solely from the sale of their own labour and that poverty could be eliminated by giving equal pay to everyone. These concepts led Shaw to apply for membership of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), led by H. M. Hyndman who introduced him to the works of Karl Marx. Shaw never joined the SDF, which favoured forcible reforms. Instead, in 1884, he joined the newly formed Fabian Society, which accorded with his belief that reform should be gradual and induced by peaceful means rather than by outright revolution. Shaw was an active Fabian. He wrote many of their pamphlets, lectured tirelessly on behalf of their causes and provided money to set up The New Age, an independent socialist journal. As a Fabian, he participated in the formation of the Labour Party. The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism provides a clear statement of his socialistic views. As evinced in plays like Major Barbara and Pygmalion, class struggle is a motif in much of Shaw's writing.

Oscar Wilde was the sole literary signatory of Shaw's petition for a pardon of the anarchists arrested (and later executed) after the haymarket massacre in Chicago in 1886.

Shaw opposed the execution of Sir Roger Casement in 1916. He wrote a letter "as an Irishman" to The Times, which they rejected, but it was subsequently printed by both the Manchester Guardian on 22 July 1916, and by the New York American on 13 August 1916.

Shaw was not necessarily better informed about actual conditions in other countries than other people were at the time, and tended to believe the best of people who professed similar principles to those he held himself. This led to him taking some positions that now seem grotesque.

After visiting the USSR in 1931 and meeting Joseph Stalin, Shaw became a supporter of the Stalinist USSR. On 11 October 1931 he broadcast a lecture on American national radio telling his audience that any 'skilled work man of suitable age and good character' would be welcomed and given work in the Soviet Union. Tim Tzouliadis asserts that hundreds of Americans responded to his suggestion and left for the USSR
