socialist movements

Collective ownership advocacy

Socialist movements are organized efforts to advance socialist principles—typically collective ownership, workers' rights, and wealth redistribution.

The term encompasses a wide range of political activity, from labor unions and democratic socialist parties to revolutionary communist organizations.

The socialist movements of the early twentieth century transformed labor relations across Europe.

Such movements vary enormously in tactics and goals, united loosely by critique of capitalism and advocacy for greater economic equality.
