Socialism does not mean redistribution.
There are currently no socialist countries in Europe, if we take the definition of socialism as social ownership and democratic control of the means of production. Some socialist policies are implemented in some sectors of the economy and society in some countries, but there is no country in Europe where this is true for large enough parts of the economy.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoYeah but any politically active "socialist" in America is talking about "implementing some socialist policies in some sectors of the economy and society" just like in Western Europe and gets run out by other Americans in all levels of society that imagine North Korea because of the word alone branding problem. if you are talking about one thing and the other people don't understand, then the language isn't working.
