Canadian gov wants to make conspiracy theories illegal with ability to throw them in prison! "This is not a question of freedom of speech. This is a question of people who are actually actively working to spread disinformation, whether it's through troll bot farms, whether [it's] state operators..."

so·cial·ism
noun
a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned by the government.

Communism refers to the political and economic ideologies that find their origin in Karl Marx’s theory of revolutionary socialism.

Yep, that's the communist propaganda. Very good, you repeat communist propaganda well, and can quote documents made up of it.

Well done, slave.

You're a fool.

You sound like a shill. You've been muddying the waters, yet not clearly defining anything, being contrarian and negating, yet not proving anything yourself, and now you're calling people slaves.

I have yet to read anything that makes sense from you. Without that, I will not continue, regardless of what quips you come out with.

So you are saying I didn't provide proof, WHICH NOBODY ASKED FOR, and that I'm not worth talking to because of that. Hm, OK then. You don't want to see proof I guess.

Absence of proof indicates you're a shill.

You are dragging down the conversation as indicated here

I HAVE NOT BEEN ASKED TO PROVIDE SAID PROOF. I will when I am asked to do so. It is an important part of the process, where one party REQUESTS proof of something, thereby indicating that they are receptive and will read and consider what is being offered.

But nobody asked. Thus nobody shall receive.

Your extremely limited definition for socialism I would call Communism - all owned by the government, which would be great except that all governments are arbitrarily run by corruptible individuals who can profit from their position over others.

It also does not account for other things like authentic democracy (not like rigged elections) in worker directed enterprises, aka worker co-operatives. What would you call those?

Marx ideas were perverted by the Russians, Chinese, and Cubans - each in their own unique ways. Bringing Marx into it or having him define Communism is like blaming Henry Ford for Tesla Motors.

The definition of socialism I shared is the correct definition, and the first and most prominent one finds if one googles "define socialism."

You're guilty of letting your own grasp (or lack of) and what you read in social media muddle the proper definition of the word.

I didn't say it was wrong, I said it was limited. Where ever you found that definition I'll wager there are more definitions. To say there is only one definition is clearly wrong as so much of these comments clearly indicate there is more than enough room for interpretation and misinterpretation.

I recommend you go to one of the best authentic socialist sources for crystal clarity, Marxist professor Richard D. Wolff who can explain it to anyone willing to listen.
