State Socialism
State Socialism (StateSoc) is an economically left-wing, and authoritarian ideology who believes that the presence of centralized authority, state ownership of the means of production by a worker's party and/or a state-planned economy is a necessity in transitioning from 
Capitalism to File:Soc.png Socialism. While state socialism is often utilized as a means to an end in achieving communism (a stateless, classless, moneyless society), by ideologies like 
Marxism–Leninism, some advocates believe in state socialism as an end goal by itself.
History
State Socialism arguably first came around in 1871 when the File:Soc.png Paris Commune came around as a 'state'. But this is up for debate as the File:Soc.png Paris Commune acted more like 
Libertarian Socialism and sometimes even 
Anarcho-Communism, and didn't really function as a state nor was recognized as such.
The real start to State Socialism was in 1917 when the 
Bolsheviks, led by 
Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the 
Russian Republic and established the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). In 1922, this became the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The USSR changed to become even more State Socialist after 
Stalin took over in 1925 and combined it with 
Police Statism and 
Authoritarianism. A lot of this was ruled back during the 
Khrushchevist and, especially, 
Gorbachevist eras of the USSR.
China, officially the Peoples' Republic of China (PRC), was ruled under a State Socialist regime called 
Maoism from 1954-1976.
North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), has been ruled by a State Socialist regime called 
Juche since it's creation in 1948.
