In 1800s Britain, the Industrial Revolution resulted in the development of a new class society.

The emergence of socialism can be split into three categories based on the reason that it was advocated or as part of a struggle against something. But at first we need to understand where its key tenets originated from. Tracing back to its origin we can look at references made by Plato in his book ‘Republic’. Another extremely important contribution of Plato would be his theory on the ‘Five types of Government’ i.e. Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy and Tyranny. This would be of significance given the period of Plato, Socrates and other Greek philosophers’ contributions as they come from a geopolitical era where the structure of the system was completely different from what we have in the modern era. The Hellenistic philosophies like Epicureanism and Stoicism which spoke of how there is need for self-control and free state of nature and how man shouldn’t be interfered by god are significant thoughts and ideologies which later went onto influence perspectives of philosophers from a much later age.…

Socialist society is a transitory stage under the dictatorship of proletariat towards communism.…

The aim of the revolution was to create socialism, which is a world wide classless society based on the common ownership and democratic control of the means of producing the distributing wealth (Ross:1998,175). For Marx the central feature of socialism is that work would no longer be monotonous drudgery (Kelly: 1988,10). Here the individual will only be recognized just as another tool in the production process.…
