Reflections on the Rise and Development of Socialism

Karolina Baraniak

Abstract: Fratricidal disputes between different schools and socialist groups provide ample evidence that one man's socialism is heresy to another, and that a dissenting comrade is seen as more worthy of hatred than the common enemy. Giving up, due to numerous difficulties, the possibility of giving a definition of socialism or recalling elements that often appear under socialism, one wonders, what socialism is not.

Keywords: Socialism, society, utopian socialism, types of socialism
