Famous Socialists: The Individuals Behind Socialism

By Mazimum C. Jerri

A list of famous socialists, from utopian socialist thinkers to leaders of Communist states. Socialists generally believe in forming a society where resources are more equitably distributed. This often involves common ownership of the means of production. Within socialism, there are different strands. The biggest divergence is between democratic socialists and the one-party communist states of the Soviet Union and China.Socialism is an ideology that became popular over the years due to the increase in inequality and discrimination across the world. 'A society where most resources are equally owned by every citizen is one of the several ways of defining this ideology. Socialists opine that capitalistic economies create hierarchy and divide the society into forms such as 'rich and 'poor'. Legendary communist leaders Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and Mao Zedong are a few distinguished personalities who preached and practiced socialism. Fidel Castro, who served as the president of Cuba for a few decades, set up the perfect example of a socialist society. China, the Soviet Union, and Cuba are a few nations where the socialist model of governance has been prevalent for many years. This book focuses on eminent leaders who believed in this ideology.
