Whatever, socialism is now defined as faire capitalism with a good safety net everywhere but right wing propaganda world.Well the last 35 years our government has been a Reaganist conservative give away to the rich and crap for everyone else with the stupidest foreign policy ever. And a depression for crying out loud.... Great job. It would be like Australia or France or Sweden, not run by the government the way you are spining it, super duper.The definition has changed a couple of times. Socialism used to be theoretical Marxism then it became like USSR communism. Then we found out that was a scam and not Democratic at all. Now socialism is democratic socialism like in every other modern country. you think it's some kind of conspiracy but it just means you get Healthcare good day care paid parental leave living wage cheap college and training good vacations and infrastructure.
*Sigh* - more shell games.
The Democratic Socialists of America seem like a decent enough source. They say:What is Democratic Socialism?
Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.
I bolded a couple of sections to emphasize that they want considerably more than what you suggest. They want to see both the economy and society "run" by government. A free market is not run by government. Neither is a free society.
Whatever. The topic is socialism. Currently we're discussion your equivocation - your half-witted word games. Why all the evasion?
