But this is Lemmy, where there's lots of communists, so that's how I interpreted OP's question. (Also, the Marx definition came first)

I think most self-described socialists don't have a very specific idea what they want, but more an idea of who they think is good (public servants) and who they think is bad (corporations). Which is like most voters in general.
