An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity. There are many varieties of socialism. Some socialists tolerate capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; others insist on an abolition of private enterprise. All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.

Um, is this an actual proposal?

This...seems more of a definition than anything. It's not entirely correct either. There are many different branches and sects of socialism and communism, and each one is different.

If your intention is to write a WA proposal having to do with Socialism, write your proposal and start a new thread.

If you want to discuss Socialism with members of this game, start a thread in General with something more than a definition.
