Literally the first line of the article

That supports my side

lol wut?

I said socialism is an economic system

Then you said it's a political system

have you not finished reading the sentence or something?

Are you referring to the "as well as the political theories"?

y

Assuming y means yes

das what an ideology is

y means y, y

It says political theories associated with them

Meaning associated with the "range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership..."

Ok let me explain it like to a chimp:

I don't understand what you're trying to explain

Would it not say what socialism is, that it's a political ideology in the first setence, rather than the second?

Why does it say "range of economic and social systems", rather than "range of political systems"?

An economic system is not enough to start to create policy, a social system is not enought to start policy. You need a (relativley) structured view on social life as a whole (including economics and social issues and perhaps more) and that is called an ideology. To implement an ideology one engages in politics.

Socialism isn't an ideology

There's ideologies that are socialist

Ok, you win whatever

I'm right, I don't know what the fuck you're on about

Communism is an ideology, it's a type of socialism

A socialist ideology

@olev Communism isn't even Socialist... It uses Socialism as a means to an end - notably the achievement of Communism. If you wanna get really anal 'bout it you could qualify Socialism as a family of Ideologies rether than subdividing it into strands called stuff like Fascism, Stalinism, Social Democracy and so on.

But whatever I just can't be bothered... S'late over here
