Social organisms, including humans, live collectively in interacting populations. This interaction is considered social whether they are aware of it or not, and whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary. In the view of Marx, citizenry is intrinsically, necessarily and by definition social beings who, beyond being "gregarious creatures", cannot survive and meet their needs aside from through social co-operation and association. Their social characteristics are therefore to an outsized extent an objectively given fact, stamped on them from birth and affirmed by socialization processes; and, consistent with Marx, in producing and reproducing their material life, people must necessarily enter into relations of production which are "independent of their will". By contrast, the sociologist Max Weber for instance defines act as "social" if, by virtue of the subjective meanings attached to the action by individuals, it "takes account of the behaviour of others, and is thereby oriented in its course". The term "socialism", used from the 1830s onwards in France and therefore the uk , was directly associated with what was called the social question. In essence, early socialists contended that the emergence of competitive market societies didn't create "liberty, equality and fraternity" for all citizens, requiring the intervention of politics and social reform to tackle social problems, injustices and grievances. Originally the term "socialist" was often used interchangeably with "co-operative", "mutualist", "associationism" and "collectivist" in regard to the organization of economic enterprise socialists advocated, in contrast to the private enterprise and corporate organizational structures inherent to capitalism.
