  Socialism
Socialist models and ideas are said by many socialists (most notably Frederick Engels) to be traceable to the dawn of human social history, being an inherent feature of human nature and early human social models.
There is general agreement among socialists and non-socialists that a socialist economy would not include private or estate ownership of large enterprises; there is less agreement on whether any such enterprises would be owned by society at large or (at least in some cases) owned cooperatively by their own workers.
Socialists further point to the free will that they believe is inherent in every human being and to the variety of social structures that have existed in human history, using them to support the claim that no type of behaviour is fixed in stone.

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is a far left wing party which campaigns for a Marxist economic platform and Scottish independence.

Delegates to the SSP conference voted on February 13, 2005 and Fox was elected with 252 votes to McCombes' 154; 9 delegates abstained and 1 ballot paper was spoilt.

 For A New Communist International   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In all of their attacks against the socialists, the Communists forgot that the mass of workers were still behind the socialists and that it was necessary, not by means of ultimatums and threats but by means of patient work, to convince the socialist workers that the Socialist Party had betrayed them.
But while the Socialist Party must be destroyed, nevertheless, in the face of the Hitler menace against all working class organizations, it was first of all necessary to unite all workers organizations, Socialist and Communist, into one united front against fascism.
So, because the Communists split the ranks of the workers, directed their fire against the socialists instead of against the fascists, and actually united at times with the fascists against the socialists, the fascists were able to take over power and destroy both socialists and Communists.

 Socialist Realism in Laos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Those standards comprise the art form known as Socialist Realism, and from 1975 until very recently, the government of the Lao PDR adhered closely to the style.
As a consequence, when the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, Socialist Realism's rigid and restrictive style became an artistic straitjacket for a vast region stretching from the Adriatic to the South China Sea, dominating the cultural life of almost half mankind.
With Socialist Realism established as the sole legitimate art form in both the Soviet Union and China, it followed naturally that the genre was introduced first to North Vietnam after the French withdrawal of 1954, and then throughout the remainder of that country following the communist victory in 1975.
