As discontent grew during the 1900s, three major philosophies were established. The three major established philosophies were socialism, communism and fascism. Socialism was never officially promoted, but the Bolsheviks, the elite group when Lenin was in power in Russia, believed that socialism could be achieved through moderate reforms such as higher wages, increased suffrage, and social protection.
