The Socialist Movement is a political and social movement that advocates for the collective ownership and management of resources and means of production. It seeks to reduce economic inequality and promote social welfare through various means, including reforms and, in some cases, revolutionary change. Key ideas include the redistribution of wealth and the provision of public services. Historically, the movement has been associated with figures like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who emphasized class struggle and the need for a proletarian revolution. Various forms of socialism exist, including democratic socialism and Marxism, each with different approaches to achieving socialist goals.
