The word “socialist” in literature appears with a rich diversity of meanings and connotations, reflecting the complexity of political and social debates. Some authors use it to evoke a sense of camaraderie and communal association, as seen in references to clubs where members address one another as “comrade” [1] or in discussions of movements and electoral committees [2, 3]. At times it is a descriptor for ideological commitment, whether embraced with pride by characters who label themselves or ascribed by others with a critical or ironic tone—for instance, when a character is branded “a traitorous socialist writer” [4] or when a political label is deployed humorously to contrast different strands of thought, such as the juxtaposition of “poetic” versus “scientific” socialism [5, 6]. In scholarly narratives, the term is also linked to discussions of labor, economic systems, and even historical movements [7, 8], illustrating that across genres the word “socialist” functions both as a marker of socio-political identity and as a vehicle for satire and polemic.
