In this episode, I explore what socialism is, what it is not, some major tendencies in socialism and their critiques, and whether or not socialism can be implemented in society.
I focus on a single definition of socialism:
Socialism is the orientation of society to the service of the interests of society as opposed to a part of society.
I discuss the important role that democracy and consent of the people MUST play in any socialist implementation.
I also conceptually differentiate Social Democracy, from Democratic Socialism, from Marxism-Leninism, from Anarcho-socialism, and touch on the reform vs. revolution debate.
