OMGorsh! Really? 
Could someone please dumb what socialism is down for me?
There's investments, there's returns, and then yet there are individuals whose practices don't seem to represent such being labeled as socialists.

I'll try, but remember that this is real basic. Socialism is when government owns all or parts of some businesses and, or industries.
The US is a socialist nation now. Public schools, police, and the fire department are some examples of socialism.
Socialism is a systems where the group is of more value than the individual, and the individual is in servitude to the group.
Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly or commonly owned and controlled co-operatively, or a political philosophy advocating such a system. As a form of social organization, socialism is based on co-operative social relations and self-management; relatively equal power-relations and the reduction or elimination of hierarchy in the management of economic and political affairs.

Dear 'theDoctorisIn' I was already advised against wikipedia because anyone can post most anything. However, thank you for your reply. Spectrumc01 posted a much more understandable answer by which would help me to better connect the dots than googling through wikipedia....

The problem is, Spectrum's answer is only part of the answer, and is politically biased. "Socialism" does NOT mean "government control".
No, socialism is when the government owns everything. We are not a socialist nation though we do have some social programs. As does every nation from fascist to communism.Could someone please dumb what socialism is down for me?

That is communism, the collective good. Socialism still allows for private business.

No not at all, they are just there to manage and Administrate, and control the will of the Masses. It is only right that they should be.... uh... compensated... for their sacrifice... right?

Well, what I mean is that "socialism" as a term includes anarcho-socialism, libertarian socialism, and countless other ideas that fit within the realm of "socialism", and yet believe in a tiny or non-existant government, and no "managers" at all. You know, in theory. Like the theory of a self-correcting free market.

Socialism essentially is when all the producers of a product are the owners.
In pure socialism you don't have the right to private property either-society as a whole would decide what resources each person needs on an individual basis-as to what benefits the society the most overall.
There's not a lot of people in the US who really understand what Socialism is-and that includes people who claim they support it, and those who claim they hate it.
If you really want to understand Socialism more-read Marx, Lennon, etc. I have, and while I don't agree with what they were saying were good ideas, it's still interesting to read a little bit about.
