List of socialists

From Free net encyclopedia

(Redirected from Socialists)

Template:Socialism Template:Dispute The following is a list of self-identified socialists. Individuals qualify for this list if known by reason of their identification as socialists in whole or major part. Therefore individuals who might be socialists but who are not known as a result of that are not listed unless their socialism is of importance to their work or their espousal of socialism has become a source of interest in the individual. The list is by country or region and can be searched by name. Other lists of ideological currents within socialism or by party affiliation can be found below.

Some of the listed individuals have been or were committed to other ideologies either before or after their identification with a socialist ideology. Where such individuals have rejected all forms of socialism and socialist ideology in favour of a competing political ideology they will not be found on this list unless they are only known by reason of their time spent in the socialist movement. Given that the boundaries between different ideological currents within socialist movements and definitions of socialism are fiercely contested few will agree as to the inclusion of all the individuals on this list. Some individuals often regarded as socialists by ideological opponents of socialism have been excluded from the list where there is no substantive reason for considering the individual to have been or to be a socialist other than on the basis of such opponents.

In the first instance the criterion for admission to this list is self identification as a socialist. A second lesser criterion is the identification of an individual as a socialist by a socialist movement. Taken together these criteria ensure that those viewed by ideological opponents of socialism as socialists but rejected as such by themselves and by the socialist movement are rejected for inclusion.

See also the list of anarchists, list of Trotskyists and list of communists. Some may be miscategorized or have straddled several categories over their lives.
