Write the differences between Luddism and Socialism?
Answers
Answer:
The main difference is that under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the state (rather than individual citizens); under socialism, all citizens share equally in economic resources as allocated by a democratically-elected government.
Answer:
Do you mean being a “Luddite”?
They are two completely different ideologies, even when the two versions of the term “luddite” are used.
A socialist is anyone who believes the government should have some hand in the production of goods in a society. Whether owning all the means of production (farms, factories, companies) or only some. America and all the other nations of the world are socialist to some degree.
Being a Luddite has two separate meanings:
A. The most common meaning (and misconception) of the term is of a person who doesn’t like technology and wants to bring a halt to its development. Nothing to do with state or private ownership of production.
B. The real Luddites were angry that company owners were using machinery to get around labor laws. They destroyed the machinery in protest. They weren’t angry about the machines themselves but how management was using them. Again, nothing about government ownership is implied.
