- ASocialists analyse society in terms of income distribution
- BIt emphasises the centrality of community
- CSocialists believe that class divisions in society are a fact and therefore irremediable
- DIt believes that material benefits should be distributed on the basis of need
Explanation
Socialists analyse society in terms of income distribution (A), emphasise the centrality of community over the isolated individual (B), and favour distribution of material benefits according to need (D). But they hold class divisions to be remediable — abolishable through social transformation — so C's claim that they are 'irremediable' is NOT true of socialism.
