Uh, yeah? Socialism is a product or service provided by a government agency at a reduced or waived price. The products and services in question don’t just happen.

no it isn’t. socialism is worker control of the means of production.

Okay, then I’m willing to admit fault but… Which is it? Worker control of production, or production according to need?

Or are you honestly going to tell me you think Collectivism (worker control of government and economy) or Communism (according to need and with no profit-making allowed) are the only forms that socialism takes?

Not saying you’re wrong, only that conflicting definitions do not help your cases, Cynetri and GreenTeaRedFlag.

That actually explains a lot, thank you. I’m just going to duck out now then since clearly I walked into a minefield of conflicting historical definitions.
