What are one goal, three roads?Show answer
Socialism's internal divide is best seen through the question of how to achieve a more equal society. A revolutionary socialist argues that capitalism is built on exploitation and cannot be fixed, so it must be overthrown and the means of production taken into common ownership. A social democrat argues that the state can tame capitalism through welfare, redistribution and a mixed economy, reducing inequality without revolution.
