The military is not a system of production.
Global domination
produces , just ask out lovely Oilocracy

The military protects the wealth of the American ruling class. It doesn't produce anything.

so basically the elites have conscripted the idiot class into serving their whims
perhaps it defines extortion more than socilaism ,save for the fact the gub'mit controls it

We live in a plutocracy. Defining socialism as "government control" provides no value in this political atmosphere. The government is already owned and controlled by the ruling class. The ruling class already uses the government to bend the economy to their benefit, as the example of the military illustrates. That is not socialism, it is capitalism.
Know that i read here more than post, and often read
you Tehon, i've no time for anything less that which is '
neck up' stimulation .
That said i find the term socialism is rather at definitional odds. It would seem to me that it's always the welfare queens, the slackers, the loosers that we have to PAY for that are targeted.
In other words, it's a complete handout, no gain, all pain, vs. a handup
To be honest there's a lot of that going around, and yeah we get down on them
In my universe , which has been mostly God's special children in construction since Regan was in office, we sexually, politically,and racially stick anything we can up your aZZ, and you WILL like it, no slacker or snowflake need apply, we'll send you home crying every night. we're aZZholes, and we're PROUD of it!
But I digress.....Stop me if i sound too liberal please....
Further, and more towards my point, the epithany that this behavior is exactly what the elites wish me, along with my fellow troglodyes, WISH us to parrot in order to take the focus off of THEM does not escape me
As such, socialism for the elities, and
capitalism for the rest of us is clearly on the table here
To plea
enlightenment from my lowly stance is, futility's finest hour
(or minute in my case)
