socialism
'Sozialismus' and 'Neoliberalismus' are often opposed to each other as political and economic ideas. 'Sozialismus' emphasizes collective ownership, social justice, and fair distribution. 'Neoliberalismus' emphasizes the free market, privatization, fewer state regulations, and individual responsibility. So the contrast is mainly about how large a role the state and the community should have in the economy. In political discussions, the words are often used to describe very different ideas of society.
