Explanation:

Socialism is an economic theory that is in direct opposition to capitalism. This principle advocates the common ownership of the means of production in the society as against the private ownership of the means of production. Advocates of socialism reason that all who participated in labor and work should be able to benefit from the proceeds therein.

The answer to the question above depends on the time frame and government being discussed. There are socialist who are aggressive in achieving their aims and they tend towards communism, while the peaceful socialists are social democrats. When socialism started it advocated slow progress of achieving their aim through political means. During the World War, most proponents of socialism were attuned to the application of ethical considerations and peaceful measures to achieve their goal of a socialist economy against a Capitalist economy. Communists whose goals were similar to theirs (and this is indeed a form of socialism) were violent in their approach. For example, Joseph Stalin used the forceful method of collectivization to ensure a communist society in the soviet union. The most part of the 20th century saw the prevalence of communist countries who were revolutionary in nature and would tolerate no opposition.
