General KnowledgeStatic General Awareness
- AHistorical Materialism
- BDialectical Materialism
- CAlienation and Class Struggle
- DIndividual Freedom
Explanation
Historical materialism, dialectical materialism, and alienation and class struggle are core tenets of Marxist socialism. Individual freedom, by contrast, is the central value of liberalism, not of socialism, which emphasises collective ownership and equality, sometimes at the cost of individual liberty. Hence D is not a central tenet of socialism.
