Socialism

Socialism is an ideology used to represent the broad range of ideologies that fall under the umbrella term of "Socialism". In the classical sense, socialism describes worker-owned means of production, heavily supporting worker coops, democratic self-management, and workplace democracy. But much of the conservative western world says that socialism is an authoritarian leftist ideology, in which a bureaucratic state controls the means of production, in a bureaucratic way. But the modern definition of the word socialism, popularised by European Social Democrats, and the  Democratic Socialists of America, is "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods." Socialism in the modern age advocates workers' democratic self-management, high taxation on the wealthy, nationalisation over key parts of industry, and preventing climate change. Socialism is always economically left, and culturally neutral however has found itself becoming synonymous with progressivism. But you do get ideologies like Conservative Socialism and more extreme ones like  Strasserism and  National Bolshevism, that combine Socialist economics, with conservative cultural preservation, due to their shared  Populist standpoint.

History
Soc was born in the very late 18th century to Jacobinism who did the whole French Revolution fiasco. Later in his childhood Bonapartism kinda kicked him out of France and he was left to spread around Europe and the World.

In the post-French revolution stage of his life, Soc found himself fathering a set of children with the most influential ones being Social Democracy (a.k.a. the centrist of the group),  Marxism (who is considered by some to be the "true" successor of Soc and who himself fathered  Marxism–Leninism) and  Utopian Socialism (being something of a leader for the Left-wing balls who don't like Marxism).

Personality
Soc is usually portrayed as a stereotypical industrial-era unionized worker who really loves striking against his boss and usually will follow the personality traits of the various types of socialism portrayed.

How to Draw
Soc_flag.svg Socialism is a unicolour ball of Red, a colour associated with Socialism for a pretty long time. Especially in the form of "The Red Flag".


 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Draw two eyes on the ball.
 * 3) Fill the ball red.
 * 4) (Optional) Add a white hammer to differentiate it from the Authleft quadrant ball

And you're done.
