Lol you're such a moron. You don't even know the meaning of what you just posted. I want you to read that paragraph you just cited and actually think about its meaning. It confirms everything I said lolSee what you're too stupid to understand is that socialism has nothing to do with totalitarian government. Sure a government like that may have a socialist system, but that doesn't mean that the totalitarian regime has anything to do with the country being socialist. So yeah, any system that is funded by tax payers is socialist. SOCIAL, COLLECTIVE OWNERSHIP. That is what the meaning of the word is at its core.What you people are too dumb to understand is that just because a socialist country might be a failure, it doesn't mean the idea of socialism is a failure. Denmark has a much lower poverty rate than the US. The work week is shorter. The percentage of people employed is higher. Wages are overall higher. It's also the number one place for business in the world.The democrat's grand plan on economics - "We take money from the businesses and give it to the people, and we'll all be rich".
Beyond that, the US has always been socialist. Our economy isn't a free market one - it's a mixed economy. Our defense department is biggest socialist institution in the world.
You're a joke.
Our military is not even close to being socialist.
Denmark is not a Socialist Country. It has a population of far fewer citizens than the city of New York. Any comparison between the United States, 330 million people, and Denmark is a show of desperation on the part of Socialists.
For your future reference:
so·cial·ism
(sō′shə-lĭz′əm)
n.
1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which the means of production are collectively owned but a completely classless society has not yet been achieved.
BYou're such an idiot. Your first defintion is a complete contradiction. The first definition says "owned...by a centralized government." While that may happen in some countries, it isn't a defining characteristic of socialism. The word, at its core meaning, means social ownership. As in the CITIZENS OWN IT. As in, it is paid for with their tax dollars. The citizens in ANY country that pay taxes for services are examples of SOCIALISM. That is what your definitions means by the "collective".What you people are too dumb to understand is that just because a socialist country might be a failure, it doesn't mean the idea of socialism is a failure. Denmark has a much lower poverty rate than the US. The work week is shorter. The percentage of people employed is higher. Wages are overall higher.

This is why it is so difficult to discuss something with a Progressive. They have their own definitions for so many things.
Your statement that citizens who gather together to pay taxes for services, make them Socialists. Flat out LIE.
It is a shame they didn't teach civics when you were in school or the basic economies of the world. Follow me and I'll try to bring you along a bit.
Once again...I'll paste S-L-O-W-L-Y.
Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production;[10] as well as the political ideologies, theories, and movements that aim at their establishment.[11] Social ownership may refer to forms of public, collective, or cooperative ownership; to citizen ownership of equity; or to any combination of these.[12] Although there are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them,[13] social ownership is the common element shared by its various forms.
Your inability to accept FACTS and the TRUTH is not surprising. Like all Progressives, you just swallow whatever sounds and FEELS good regardless of the FACTS. A well-known trait of Progressives.
