Honestly, I had thought you would at least not double down.  The essential element of socialism is collective or government ownership of the means of production.  And it has failed everywhere it's been tried with just the latest example in Venezuala.  As for my definition, it came right from the dictionary, although I realize that left wing nuts don't feel constrained by facts, logic or reason.....hence we get men calling themselves a girl and vice versa along with other craziness.

Sorry, but there is not one socialist country in western Europe.  They are capitalist economic systems that protect private property that have large social program spending.  And of course the cost of that spending is high unemployment, high taxes (on income and consumption), etc.  But they voted for it and if that's what they want then so be it.  Whether our indoctrination system....er, um.....our education system has dumbed down enough people to get them to want the same thing in the U.S. remains to be seen, although I'm not optimistic.  de'Toqueville predicted that once people figured out they could use their vote to gain access to the treasury it was all over.  And Democrats are certainly falling all over each other to sell them that lie.  "Free" health care, "free" college, "free", "free", "free"!!!  It's like a miracle gift from the gov't......so please be dumb and vote for me!!!!

If you can't understand all this I cannot help you.
