Unless you envision some other form of "social ownership" than what the US government already exercises[1], I don't follow your objection. The wikipedia article has thirty-two thousand words, describing eight varieties of socialism, and its introductory paragraph mentions:
> There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them.

- the_why_of_y 11y agoIf the US of today is "socialist", the word has lost all meaning. They can't even increase health care coverage without ensuring that corporations profit off of it, never mind the economic waste. The wikipedia article also contains this apt observation: "The term socialist has also been used by some politicians on the political right as an epithet against certain individuals who do not consider themselves to be socialists, and against policies that are not considered socialist by their proponents."
