Correct Answer: The workers
Socialism is a social and economic system characterized by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. Modern socialism originated from an 18th-century intellectual and working class political movement that criticised the effects of industrialization and private property on society. So it is essentially a movement of the workers.
