I seriously doubt you have any education beyond grammer school. Take a look at Merriam Webster dictionary definition and go back to your ignorance.That's communism the pure form of socialism. Your definition is lacking... It always says owned by or regulated by the community... Your definition is right wing propaganda, super dupe. Or link to it.You should demand a refund of the cost of your college/university degrees. Words have meaning. Political systems are defined. Socialism in its' most extreme sense has everything owned by the collective or government. Socialism is not government using resources to "help" the populace. That is charity or welfare. The Finnish Prime Minister is wrong and if you believe him you are wrong as well. Socialism is defined as collective or government ownership of the means of production and distribution and by inference the complete collective/government control of the economy. If you drill down you discover the fruits of your labor are not yours but belong to the collective/government/There is no transitional about it, communism has never been put in without a huge revolution very violent. And it doesn't work. I believe socialism has always been Democratic at least in some sense. When people found out the USSR was in no way democratic, it was no longer the definition of socialist, except in Cold War rightwing dupe worlds. Especially by now for crying out loud. The Finland prime minister said we are all socialists now when the USA passed Healthcare finally for God sake. Thanks GOP and silly dupes.... And yes I have a masters in history and no, liberal fascism is ridiculous drivel.Absolutely if you want pure socialism then we or nobody in Europe is socialistBe specific remember socialism is: collective or governmental ownership of the means of production and distribution. It is also a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done. Again please be specific as to which countries and element.Every country has elements of socialism
If you want to look at government using resources to help the masses ..... we are all socialist
