Socialism generally refers to an economic system based on public ownership and operation of the means of production (capital goods, assets and production equipment) with ownership vested in either a public body or in the workers who operate the enterprise.

There are several key variants of socialism that can be differentiated based on their economic mechanism (economic planning or market economics), their type of ownership (public ownership or worker's cooperatives), and how goods and services are valued.

Socialism may also refer to political ideologies and movements that have the establishment of socialism as their ultimate goal.

There are a number of different issues socialism seeks to resolve and goals socialism aims to achieve. Among socialism's key goals include:

  • The profits created by industry belong to society and can be used to fund public goods or be distributed among all members of the public;
  • Allowing for self-management within the economy for individuals and workers, granting them greater autonomy and control over their work;
  • The promotion of social equality and equitable use of the profits created by society;
  • Eliminating exploitation caused by private ownership of the means of production, so that one's income is proportional to how much one contributes to society;
  • Eliminating the economic crises, business cycle and unemployment caused by capitalism.

There are different varieties of socialism. In general, they share a desire for egalitarianism, by which they mean equality as the oppurtunity to achieve self-actualization, and not just equality before the law.

Socialism - Economic vs Political

One thing the above gets a bit confused with is that in modern-day academic usage, socialism is mostly an economic idea, not a politicalidea. When talking about political socialism, usually it is referred to by another name, which specifies how the socialist economic policy is to be implemented; see things like Social democracy, Communism, Leninism and Maoism. Economic socialism by itself says nothing about the way that wealth should be distributed per se - that is, a socialist economy does not have to have one particular form of political system structure.

Commonly, Socialism (with the capital 'S') is a shorthand for Marxism, while socialism (with a lower-case 's') refers to the socialism economic theory.
Socialism means two related things:

An economic system based on social ownership of the means of production, collective-decision making in management, and production organized directly for use. There are several hypothetical versions of socialism, such as market-based socialism, planned economies and decentralized-planning.

Socialism also refers to a political ideology and political movement working toward the establishment of a socialist economy. This might encompass any policies or values held by that movement.
Socialism is where the government owns the industry of the country.

Socialization is interaction in a social group or community as a life-long process through which from the formative phase to maturity learn skills and attitudes to function as a member of society.

The levels and phases of social interaction are:

Primary socialization: learning through eating, hygiene, dressing, usually stuff that happens at home also known as formative phase of social interact.

Secondary socialization: learning, directing as a group member, learning skills and imbibing knowledge to be accepted as a social member, such as working at church, participating in extra curricular activities beyond the Primary level of socialization.

Tertiary socialization is the maturity phase in old age.

Anticipatory socialization is to think before any social interact. One plans what one is likely to do in any social interact and foresees the eventuality of the social interact..

Socialization means to be social with, others. (Other than your friends).

From a more abstract point of view, "socialization" means to learn how one fits into a society as a whole. It means to learn the social conventions, taboos, strictures, and system being used in the culture. All humans must learn some basic socialization skills (such as sharing, interpretation of body language, etc.) that are common across all human cultures. What comprises the rest of socialization is dependent on (and specific to) a culture. It can comprise of learning about social conventions, how interpersonal interactions are supposed to be conducted, the stratification of society into groups, etc.

The phenomenon that shapes our personality and makes who we are is called socialization.

It can mean just to mingle and discuss, Like we will socialize at the party. Or it can mean to change thru manipulation (guilt-trip) someone into conforming with others, supposedly the main of society. Thus if you conform to societal pressures you have become socialized.
