This article examines the various types of Socialism. They exist across the political spectrum from extreme left wing to extreme right wing. In other words they exist in the most liberal to the most conservative individuals, groups and organizations.
Right Wing Type of Socialism
The right wing or the conservative individuals, groups and organizations demonstrate an extreme anti-socialist view of socialism. They vehemently express outrage at socialism. They attack socialism as something that is extremely destructive to man, societies and countries.
The term right wing is derived from the National Assembly in France (1789-1791), where the nobles sat to the president’s right and the commons to the left.
The term left wing is derived from the National Assembly in France (1789-1791, where the commons sat to the presidents left and the nobles to the right.
It has been found that the right wing employs a tremendous amount of socialism in their political economic operations as well. They can be as socialistic as communism in their most extreme forms. This extreme form is Fascism or when the few rich and powerful of a nation control and operate the government. They will not admit to any forms of socialism. They will not be responsible for any socialism in their operations. They will assume their socialisms are a part of capitalism. They don’t care how they get their wealth as long as they can accumulate huge amounts of wealth. They do this without proper or equal exchange for it, in the forms of self created commodities, trades, goods and services. They attack left wing forms of socialism. They attack forms of socialism that enhances the productive abilities of the Producers, the laborers and workers. Any form of socialism, that enhances the right wings’ ability to redistribute money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their hands, they will support. However they will never call it socialism.
The Right Wing plants a deep hatred of socialism into the individuals of a society. They use this planted hatred to control the individuals. They will attack forms of socialism that benefit the vast majority of citizens. They will not address their types of socialism as socialism. By not addressing their forms of socialism as socialism, they can generate citizen agreement for government programs that reward wealthy non-producers and counter-producers.
They control the opinion of the citizens. They use the control of the citizens to gain control of and operate governments. Once in control of governments they set up and operate government social programs that redistribute the money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity of a nation into their hands.
In a previous article titled; Capitalist Socialist Economics in http://personalist.wpengine.com, I have listed the types of socialisms that enhance the abilities of the wealthy non-producers and counter-producers to concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity of a nation into their hands. These socialisms are classified as Right Wing Socialisms.
When these socialisms concentrate the money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity into the hands of a few, the money and energy velocities of a society or nation slows. When money and energy velocity of a society or nation slows value, wealth, capital, power and prosperity is destroyed.
Commodities, trades, goods and services depend on the speed of money and energy flow in a society for their value. As money and energy velocity increases the value of commodities, trades, goods and services increase. As money and energy velocity decreases the value of commodities, trades, goods and services decreases.
Wealth and capital depend on the speed of money and energy flow in a society or nation. The more velocity there is in the money and energy of a society the more wealth and capital will be generated by the Producers. As money and energy velocities decrease the less wealth and capital will be generated by the Producers.
Prosperity also depends on money and energy flow of a society. The faster the money changes hands the greater the prosperity. The faster the energy of a society flows the greater the prosperity of a society.
The power of an organization, society, and nation depends on money and energy velocity. Power is derived directly through the creation of money and energy. The faster money and energy flows through a society or nation the more power that society or nation has. When money is concentrated into the hands of a few rich and powerful individuals the power of the society and nation is destroyed.
Right wing socialisms destroy money velocity and energy flows. They destroy the energy, wealth, capital and power of a nation. They cause prosperities to recede into recessions and depressions.
These Right Wing Social programs include:
- Low or no taxes for the rich and powerful.
- They have set up the Federal Reserve to be used to expand the money supply. Through the expansion of the money supply they can transfer tremendous amounts of money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity away from the Producers. They transfer it into their hands and bank accounts. This action destroys prosperity for the vast majority of citizens. It causes inflation.
Other Right Wing Social programs include:
- Excessive military spending;
- Conducting wars without exhausting all resources in the quest to prevent war;
- Corporate welfare;
- Agricultural welfare;
- Bailouts to the counter-producer banking system;
- Bailouts to the counter-producer wall street system;
- Monopolizing the media;
- Monopolizing energy systems;
- A monopolized Medical system;
- Monopolies, privately owned and operated;
- Socializing the losses and privatizing the profits of corporations;
- No bid government contracts;
- Allowing corporations rights of citizens;
- FDIC insurance for the Banking industry;
- Government insurance for the Nuclear industry;
- Welfare for Corporations to move to foreign countries;
There are many forms of Right Wing socialisms. One would think there could not be any Right Wing socialisms or conservative socialisms because of the way these people attack socialism. But, these forms of socialism exist. The Right Wing, also the conservatives, has used Right Wing socialisms to redistribute vast amounts of money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity from the producers. They have used these forms of socialism to place this money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity into their hands. They have destroyed much prosperity throughout history.
Left Wing Types of Socialism
I have called the following types of socialism left wing socialism because they have been viewed as left wing in the past. They have also been viewed as left wing by the right wing political system. In reality they are both Left Wing and Right Wing forms of Socialism. We have Producers in both the Right Wing and Left Wing political economic systems. These social programs enhance the abilities of all Producers regardless of which wing they are classified, Right (Nobles) or Left (Commons).
In a previous article titled, Capitalist Socialist Economics in http://personalist.wpengine.com, I have listed the types of socialisms that enhance the abilities of the Producers. These socialisms give Producers a foundation on which to create money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity.
Producers can produce more abundantly when they are:
- well educated,
- have clean drinking water,
- sanitary waste management,
- honest banking,
- a Constant Money Supply,
- an Open Market,
- a Policing service that backs them when they protest against the counter-producers,
- the correct size military industrial complex,
- war only as the last resort;
- roads,
- bridges,
- airports,
- harbors
- other forms of transportation systems free from monopolies;
- have flood control projects,
- hydroelectric projects,
- large irrigation projects,
- health care systems that covers all citizens,
- retirement systems.
Left wing socialisms increase money velocity and energy flows. These are the types of socialisms that enhance the abilities of the Producers. They enhance the abilities of the producing workers and laborers. They aid in the creation of money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity of a nation. They cause prosperities to expand into even greater prosperities.
There are also left wing types of socialism that reward non-production. These programs like the Right Wing Socialist programs are destructive to money velocity and energy flows. These include;
- excess welfare payments
- Government ownership of all production and distribution systems of a society or nation.
- Paying people based on need instead of based on production of commodities, trades, goods and services.
The Six Types of Socialism
The following types of socialism are an expansion of the six types of socialism listed in the article 3.0 Socialism in http://yourcreatemoney.com.
The six types of socialism are:
1. Socialism can be a theory or system of the ownership and operation of the means of production and distribution by society or the community rather than by private individuals, with all members of society or the community sharing in the work and the products. (Webster’s New Twentieth Century Dictionary unabridged)
In this type of Socialism the society, community or nation owns and operates the means of production and distribution. The individual members of the society, community or nation share in the work and labor. They share in the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power based upon their needs. An example of this type of socialism is Communism, as it is currently practiced.
The Communists plant a deep hatred of capitalism into the individuals of a society. They use this planted hatred to control the individuals. They will attack all forms of capitalism. This includes the forms that benefit the vast majority of citizens and the forms that concentrate the wealth of a nation into the hands of a few rich and powerful individuals.
Fascism also tends to operate in this manner. Government is controlled and operated by the fascists to gain control of all production and distributions systems of the society or nation. In this type of socialism the non-producers and counter-produces are rewarded at the expense of the Producers. The destructive type of Capitalism, where the money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power is concentrated into the hands of few is operated in this manner.
Both the extreme left wing Communism and the extreme right wing Fascism are operated under this type of socialism. Communism directly takes over the government. Those in power concentrate all money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power into their hands.
Those in power in Fascism and the destructive form of capitalism set themselves up as a step removed from government. They set up government as a separate entity from themselves. However they use the money, energy, wealth, capital and power of government to concentrate all money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power of a nation into their hands.
The end result is very much the same in both extremes of right wing and left wing. The result is all money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity flows into the hands of those in power. Both extremes, right wing and left wing socialism, have destroyed much prosperity on the planet throughout history.
2. Socialism can be a community of individuals working together during the process of creating prosperity through production. Co-operatives and employee owned enterprises are examples of communities of individual Producers working together during the process of creating prosperity through work and labor. These forms or organizations, when employed during the production of commodities, trades, goods and services, are among the most successful in creating money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity for a community or group of Producers. The article 3.7 Private Forms of Socialism in http://personalist.wpengine.com covers in detail private forms of socialism.
3. Socialism is the government or a community owning and controlling the production organizations. The first type of socialism is complete government control and ownership of production organizations throughout the whole nation or community.
This, Type Three, type of socialism is Government owning and controlling specific production areas. This type of socialism enhances the abilities of the Producers to create money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity. These areas include education, some health care and retirement systems. More government owned and controlled production areas include public roads, mass transportation, airports, harbors, bridges, hydroelectric power, dams and water distribution systems. They also include interstate highway systems, parks, forest lands and grazing lands. Also included in this type of socialism are flood control projects, policing, the military industrial complex, and many, many more programs and projects.
4. Socialism is Government interfering with the Market. Government interfering with the Market is destructive to the individuals, families, organizations, societies and nations. This usually tends toward Capital Destroying Socialism. This is Governments interfering with the Market directly or indirectly through monopolies.
Monopolies are an example of government allowing a market to be controlled. Here the government is indirectly interfering with the market by not maintaining it open to all on equal terms. By allowing monopolies to exist, governments interfere with the Market indirectly and covertly. This indirect and covert interference is done by private non-producing and counter-producing individuals and organizations who have taken over the control and operations of the government.
These individuals and organizations take over and operate the Government. They use the power of the government to establish monopolies. They use the control of the power of the government to not enforce anti-monopoly laws. These controlling individuals and organizations are the beneficiaries of the monopolies. They control the Market covertly through controlling the operations of the government.
Direct interference of the Market by the government is when government programs are set up to alter market prices.
Before I continue with examples of government programs that alter Market prices, I want to emphasize how governments come to set up such programs.
Governments develop programs that alter Market prices by attempting to help a specific area that is in an economic decline. Other ways governments develop programs that alter Market prices are when non-producing and counter-producing individuals of the political-economic system gain control of the government. With this control of the government they set up programs that alter Market prices for their benefit.
Governments don’t sit there all by themselves dreaming up these programs. There are ALWAYS individuals either behind the scenes or out front who are the thrusts or forces behind all government programs. Governments don’t exist without individuals operating them. Governments are purposefully directed action entities. They are not static. Purposefully directed actions are placed into Governments by individuals who operate them. Purposefully directed actions are also placed into Governments by the individual citizens the Government represents in its operations.
All government programs have interested individuals who strive for the creation of each specific program that is created by a government. The programs include all Producer enhancing programs, all Right Wing enhancing programs and all Left Wing enhancing programs.
When people say the GOVERNMENT is the cause of “IT,” meaning the problem or the solution; they are leaving out the real responsible entities here. The real responsible entities are the individuals behind the inception of the programs. Making all “Government” responsible is a generalization. Individuals are always the cause of “IT,” the problem or the solution. It is the individual, who in some capacity is purposefully controlling and operating part of the government or who has in the past purposefully controlled and operated part of the government, who is responsible.
I will take this information on who is responsible and apply it to Governments that directly interfere with Markets.
There have been Government Social Programs set up to benefit producing enterprises when there have been real hardships. There have also been Government Social Programs set up to benefit non-producing and counter-producing enterprises and individuals who don’t have real hardships.
When there are real hardships one could argue that a one time help or rescue is justified. This is found in Agriculture. Farmers were given government subsidies when economic hardships occurred. This gradually evolved into paying farmers to not produce. This causes prices on the Market to rise.
Example: Dairy farmers were given a base price for a gallon of milk. This base price or “floor” was established by the government. When Producers are given higher prices for their products than the Open Market would establish, they use this over payment to bid up the input costs of their operations. In short order they will find themselves in the same condition economically as they were before they received the economic aid. This is because they have used the extra income to bid up the input costs of the operation.
This becomes a vicious circle where everyone loses. The individuals receiving the government handout lose because they use the new money to bid up their operating costs. They are back where they started from, asking for more aid. The Producers or tax payers, who pay for the government handout, lose their money to the people receiving the money. The Producers or tax payers lose a second time because now they have to pay higher prices for commodities, trades, good, services.
Examples of Government programs that interfere with Market pricing are Agricultural (welfare) Subsidization, Corporate (welfare) Subsidization, and excess Military Industrial Complex. When individuals are given money without an exchange for it, they use it to bid up the prices of commodities, trades, goods and services currently on the Market. When prices are bid up on the market everyone pays more for their needed and wanted commodities, trades, goods and services.
5. Socialism is government regulations placed on the economic system beyond the Axioms of Economics. The only laws that should be placed on the economic system are the Axioms of Economics. Reward the Producers and only the Producers, maintain the Market as an Open Market (open to all on equal terms) and maintain a Constant Money Supply are the basic laws of Economics. Any regulations, placed on the economic system outside of the Axioms of Economics, tend to penalize the Producers (laborers and workers) and reward the non-producers and counter-producers.
6. Socialism is any Government financed programs directed and controlled by a Government. These are all the programs legislated into existence by any and all Governments. Some of these programs are Capital Producing programs and some are Capital Destroying programs.
The Capital Producing social programs have been listed earlier in this article and in a previous article Capitalist Socialist Economics in http://personalist.wpengine.com. These social programs have built a foundation on which Capital Producing Capitalism can prosper. They reward Producers. They aid the Producers in creating money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity.
The Capital Destroying programs have also been listed earlier in this article and in the Capitalist Socialist Economics article. They are social programs that benefit the Right Wing. They reward the wealthy non-producers and the counter-producers. They destroy money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity.
There are also Capital Destroying programs that benefit the Left Wing.
They include:
- excess welfare payments
- Government ownership of all production and distribution systems of a society or nation.
- Paying people based on need instead of based on production of commodities, trades, goods and services.
These programs also destroy money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity.
An important point to make here is: Producers, laborers and workers, exist in both the Left Wing and the Right Wing sections of a society. Producers exist in the Commons section of a society and in the Nobles section of a society. Non-producers and counter-producers also exist in both the Commons and the Nobles sections of a society. It is always important that the Producers in either section of a society are rewarded in full for their creation of money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity. It is also very important that non-producers and counter-producers in either section of a society are not rewarded for their non-production or counter-production.
In this article, Types of Socialism, we have Right Wing and Left Wing socialisms. There are social programs that reward production and Producers. There are social programs that reward non-producers and counter-producers. Socialisms exist across the political spectrum. It is important to eliminate any social programs that harm production and Producers, laborers and workers. It is important to create and maintain social programs that enhance the abilities of the Producers to create money, value, energy, wealth, capital, power and prosperity.
