Socialists are a voter group.
Socialists are supporters of economic stability. They're mainly concerned about having a high rate of Equality and low rates of Poverty and Unemployment. To this end, they support progressive taxation, public welfare, and government-based subsidies to help people.

Other Groups[]

Pressure Groups[]
Dissatisfied socialists - especially poor ones - may join the violent Socialist Army.
In Democracy 3, dissatisfied socialists - especially poor or trade unionist ones - may join the Communist Party to make their demands heard and, if ignored, may radicalize and join the Revolutionary Army.
