Socialism (Napoleon's World)

Socialism (also known as communism) is a form of government and economic thinking that was first suggested by philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels during the 19th century in their book, The Communist Manifesto. Throughout history, it has been attempted, to varying degrees of success, as a national form of government either with total socialism (i.e. England, Chile, Siam) or reserved, democratic socialism (most South American countries).
