social-ism is what we are referring to.
You got your jargon around the same time we got, a McCarthy era phrase in our pledge.
We? Or you.
You stated that Government is socialism.
It's not.
Yes, Government is Socialism. How can it be otherwise?
Nope. Post the definition. From Marx, or Lenin, or even Socialist party USA...
This is from their website:
"The Socialist Party strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control -- a non-racist, classless, feminist, socialist society in which people cooperate at work, at home, and in the community.
Socialism is not mere government ownership, a welfare state, or a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools. The production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. Socialism produces a constantly renewed future by not plundering the resources of the earth.”
Socialism is not form of government. Socialism is about government control over means of production.
I understand, you're young and stupid, you have nothing of your own and have no future, so you need someone else to take it from those who have, and who earned it, to hand it to you. You'll need to eat many more chicken nuggets before it reaches your brain...
