Socialism

Socialism was a political and economic philosophy based upon social ownership of the means of production and the elimination of private property.

The People's Liberation Battalion was a socialist revolutionary front on Eiattu 6 aimed at overthrowing the planet's nobility called the Priamsta, but it was infiltrated by Imperial agents.^[2]
