What are socialist ideals?

[GodLike1001]

Also, have socialist ideals/values changed since 19th century?

Is a socialist country looking for the same things as described by political theorists who first created the concept of socialism or does capitalism play a larger role?

What you may be thinking of is Social Democracy. It was bigger in Europe, but you could compare it to modern progressives here. For modern socialists, capitalism plays no larger role than it did, it doesn't need to. Capitalism and socialism to need to merge or exist together in one system. Marxism is replacing capitalism with socialism then communism. Classless, Stateless society based on an over abundance of food and products based on a higher productivity of labor allowing a shorter workday and greater freedom in activity. You have a lot to learn.

The Soviet Union and China were state capitalist, not socialist or communist.

Communist ideals are solidarity, internationalism, equality and the abolition of private property (and with it, wage slavery and worker exploitation), the monetary system and class-based society (and with it, the state).
