Question

what is the difference between socialists and radicals

Answer 1

Radical Socialism is as opposed to social democracy or democratic socialism. Social democracy maintains a capitalist economic system, but uses high taxes to pay for socialistic programs, trying to transport the benefits of socialism into capitalism.

Democratic Socialism involves the socialization of major industry, either through nationalization, or direct socialization and democratic control of corporations by workers, through councils or unions (bosses would be elected). However, the practice of capitalism on a small scale and in tertiary industries is still tolerated in the hopes that it will drive growth. No one steps in an tells a small restaurant owner that hiring a bus boy is wage slavery and illegal, although the right of workers (or, in bureaucratized forms, government managers) to assert control over major industries and corporations when it is in the interest of the workers to do so is generally maintained.

While social democracy is capitalist in nature, it adopts socialist programs. While Democratic Socialism is socialist in nature, it tolerates peripheral capitalism.

Radical socialism is used to describe a socialist system with no tolerance for capitalism. It might still be democratic, but the “means of production” can no longer be owned, and are considered the collective property of the people who use them. Even a lemonade stand where one kid tried to hire two others for a wage would be considered the collective property of all three workers; the first kid might be entitled to get the wealth they invested back, but they would not be permitted to make a single dime off of what socialists view as the exploitation of the labor of others. The goal is to encourage people to build the economy collectively. Usually radical socialism is implemented as a stepping stone between capitalism and communism, with the goal of gradually tweaking the system in order to allow people to provide the goods or services they make free of charge, and still receive a “fair share” of society’s wealth, with the eventual goal of abolishing money entirely and establishing Communism. (This answer has not touched on times when radical socialism has gone off the rails, and resulted in state domination rather than worker control; many radical socialists answer that that is not an inevitable result of socialism, but is what happens when there is not enough democracy; Albert Einstein is one radical socialist who makes this argument).

Radical socialism is also used as an epithet by the far right for anything that even smells like it might be social democracy.
