The socialist ideology family per Heywood, spanning revolutionary and reformist branches: common or collective ownership and control of the means of production, and the reformist tradition that pursues the same egalitarian aims through parliamentary and welfare-state means rather than revolution.

Does not belong here: the Welfare State as a policy apparatus, filed under Economic Systems and Doctrines because it describes a state's economic architecture rather than a full ideology in Heywood's sense, even though it is closely associated with social-democratic politics.
