| | Socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some have put forward models of moderate market socialism where markets exist, but an owning class does not. | | | Libertarian socialism is any one of a group of political philosophies dedicated to opposing coercive forms of authority and social hierarchy, in particular the institutions of capitalism and the State. | | | Socialism is a social and economic system (or the political philosophy advocating such a system) in which the economic means of production are owned and controlled collectively by the people. |

| | Democratic Socialism: A Transformational Project : SF Indymedia |
| | Democratic socialism has a unique chance in this situation to prove itself as a project of justice that opposes the functionality or instrumentalization of individuals for capital exploitation
Democratic socialism means acting for the social equality and participation of all individuals in the basic conditions for a self-determined life in social security. | | | Social losses occurred in the wake of mass unemployment and destruction of the environment, as reactions to the indebtedness of public budgets, a rigorous austerity policy to the detriment of future-friendly and income-effective investments, the horror of market radical thinking before public employment and the dominant policy of social deregulation and privatization. | | | In the majority of western European states, the social democratic parties elected into government in the 90s were voted out of office again like the representatives of neoliberal development. |

| | Ntambirweki, SSA background paper: THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE AFRICAN STATE ON THE PATH TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT |
| | The African state entered a crisis and had to be extricated out of it by the reversal of its thinking and the re-embracement of some of the cardinal tenets of the capitalist state; liberal democracy, the market oriented economy, decentralisation and the primacy of ecology. | | | As a consequence of the collapse of African socialism and the non-workability of the socio-economic experiments of the early post independence state, the economic face of the state had to be reshaped. | | | The preference for socialism was also a signal for the rejection of the colonial political theory and the economic and social theory on which it was based. |

| | Nor should we allow all reform to be dismissed as 'communistic.'
