I looked at the thread to see what you were talking about, and the feedback you got there is correct. You're trying to define socialism extremely narrowly; far more narrowly than most people would. Most people, in the US at least, who identify as socialist are not in favor of communism and consider social programs such as medicare and social security to be examples of socialism.
- genericpseudo 10y agoAmerican use of the term "socialism" is frankly bizarre. Western Europe's governments are largely run by social democrats, Christian democrats or liberal conservatives. Very few are left enough to be properly called democratic socialism.
