The simplest definition for socialism is this: democratic workers' ownership and management of the means of production.
Notice, that this does not imply a state. The comparison between communism and socialism is an erroneous one, as communism refers to a theoretical future society - a classless, stateless society in which the economy and society is run generally of the line of "From each according to their ability, to each according their need , and socialism to an economic system

The idea that somehow the world owes you a living because you exist.
A system that is built on fantasy and economic ignorance.
A system of selfishness and envy disguised as equality and compassion.
Where the Government controls the means of production and turns everyone into slaves for The State.
The delusion that you can cure poverty by making everyone else poorer.
An idea so bad that they ignore the obvious drawback.
The Rich can just pack up their businesses and their wealth and move somewhere else causing the country's wealth to run out.
