Yep, I agree with you. Socialism's true definition is something like "any measure aimed at ensuring a fair distribution of newly created wealth". This would imply that the Bezos, Gates and Musk types of fortunes would not be possible, while the epidemic of homelessness we are now seeing in many cities in the USA would not be possible either.

But there has been a century-long psy-op to equate "socialism" with "Marxism", often using Marx' own words that "socialism is just a step towards communism" which is, and one might hope this would be obvious! - Communist propaganda. And yet, people are so brainwashed with this that they will call any policy that conforms to the aforementioned definition - COMMUNISM.

From that point on, socioeconomic thought becomes truncated and subtlety, lost. This has been a very astutely orchestrated Orwellian Newspeak operation that will have very far ranging consequences, since today even mentioning "wealth distribution" gets you branded a "socialist" which is a stand-in for FULL BLOWN COMMIE when in fact there are an almost infinite number of points on the unregulated, 100% pure capitalism to absolute communism axis.
