The Socialism portalThe socialistpolitical movement includes political philosophies that originated in the revolutionary movements of the mid-to-late 18th century and out of concern for thesocial problems that socialists associated with capitalism.

By the early 1920s,communism and social democracy had become the two dominant political tendencies within the international socialist movement, with socialism itself becoming the most influential secular movement of the 20th century. Many socialists also adopted the causes of other social movements, such asfeminism,environmentalism, andprogressivism. (Full article...) Selected articleChristian socialism generally refers to those on theChristian left whose politics are bothChristian andsocialist and who see these two things as being interconnected. This category can includeLiberation theology and the doctrine of thesocial gospel. Christian socialists draw parallels between what some have characterized as theegalitarian and anti-establishment message ofJesus, who — according to ChristianGospel — spoke against the religious authorities of his time, and the egalitarian, anti-establishment, and sometimesanti-clerical message of most contemporary socialisms. Some Christian Socialists have gone as far as to become activeCommunists.
