    Its not? Every definition of socialism I’ve ever heard of is exactly that.

    For instance:

    “Socialism is, broadly speaking, a political and economic system in which property and the means of production are owned in common, typically controlled by the state or government.”

    What’s your definition?

        I rarely stick my nose anywhere near socialism discussions on social media anymore because this is how these conversations tend to go.

        “Wrong”

        “Ok, well, my understanding was based on X, Y, and Z. What am I missing?”

        “X, Y, and Z are wrong”

        “Well then can you explain-”

        “No, it’s not my job to educate you”
