    NO. I am talking about that word as it was used BEFORE COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. Hitler never spoke of socialism as a means to communism, he knew about this whole psy op, disinfo, propaganda. And communist USSR people believed they were under socialism? Makes sense. Do you not know how much the commies used propaganda?

    Capitalism DOES NOT MEAN FREE MARKETS. There are no free markets. That's capitalist propaganda to try and make you swallow the sorry state of western society. This is hugely important. You are trying to defend the results of propaganda designed to enslave you and turn the West communist. You don't even realize how close the USA are to becoming all-out communist, do you?

    No, it should be called SOCIALISM because absent drones like you who repeat communist propaganda, THE TERM HAS ALWAYS MEANT THE SAME THING.

      It's not "MY OWN". It is THE definition of the word "Socialism" absent communist propaganda :

      Socialism I. Definition Socialism is an economic philosophy based on the need for regulations on capitalism. Unchecked capitalism, most economists agree, can create serious problems in the long term, since short-term personal profit does not motivate companies to take care of infrastructure, the environment, or their workers. Socialists emphasize this fact and argue that only the government can solve the problems created by capitalism. Other economic philosophies generally acknowledge the problem, but advocate other solutions to it, while only a few extremists deny that there is any problem with absolute capitalism.

      Although many people think that socialism and capitalism are completely incompatible systems, the fact is that most developed nations operate on a combination of both. For example, nearly every major city in the developed world has some system of government-run public transportation, such as bus lines or a subway. There are also laws against child labor, unsafe workplaces, and reckless pollution, and government programs that help provide education, food, and healthcare to the poor. All of these are socialist ideas that exist in relative harmony with capitalist economies. Capitalism vs. socialism is a question of balance, not an “either/or” question.

      And wait, you are still preaching those raving commie maniacs' "truth"? You know what's disgusting and frightening about the vast hordes of brainwashed zombies like you? You repeat Marxist-Leninist propaganda while believing you stand against it. As far as mass delusions go, I think this one takes the cake.

        They list it as a highly debatable inclusion. And an inclusion as to WAYS THAT PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT socialism. Some people attempt getting richer by robbing banks. It doesn't mean that one is equivalent to the other. I think your blinders are keeping you from reading straight. You are holding on to your communist propaganda very tightly, aren't you?

        yes communist propaganda is telling me to hate communism. Great logic.

        No, it's telling you to hate SOCIALISM, which is the key to preventing CAPITALIST nations from breaking down and embracing COMMUNISM.

        Is that logical enough for you? THAT IS WHY they're telling you that socialism and communism are the same thing. To make you reject the solution to the problems caused by mostly unchecked capitalism. Do you realize how close the USA is to becoming full-blown communist? It's having me frothing at the mouth about it. And what do I know, I'm only an economist of over 20 years...

          NO, THEY ARE MARXISTS, AND COMMUNISTS which only meets YOUR IMAGINARY AND FALSE definition of "Socialism" acquired through brainwashing and a massive psy op.

          Look at Sweden before the recent massive immigration of muslim "refugees": welfare that was about 70% of a middle-class income, and extremely loose "qualification" requirements. Low unemployment, and people did not stay on welfare for a minute longer than absolutely necessary, BECAUSE WHITE PEOPLE TAKE PRIDE IN BEING PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF THEIR CIVILIZATION. It's a system that has shown it works many times over.

          Sure, in the USA you had a massive propaganda campaign to make people entitled, ignorant, lazy fucks, and also to cultivate a large base of poor people in order to funnel them into the military. That is very detrimental to that particular case. But the USA isn't the world. Socialism has proven itself to be a wonderful addition to civilizations, enabling TRULY CIVILIZED living in Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, all of Scandinavia, Lybia, and more.

          But wait, you're American so you don't know about any of those. Correct?
