Get the socialism mug.noun
is a form of government or state apparatus, which is an idealogical social Association as opposed to the more traditional political and economic (ideological) institutions. Within the frame work of ploitical socialism although the economic element is present, it, however, holds only but an incidental and therefore minor value within the state composition. In ploitical socialism, the economy is viewed as simply a means the essential sustainability of society, and not as it is the case with the economic state or economic society, a means for materialistic attainability or procurement.

Get the ploitical socialism mug.When you buy a chair you move it in the house. However if you want it as your private property you have to move it in your room. If you want it in the living room you have to let everybody sit in it and you have no say.

Get the furniture socialism mug.My take: all approaches to governing people lay on a spectrum and each is interdependent with the economics of that society. Because the terms cover widths on that spectrum, and are not able to be pigeon-holed, no one conveneient definition of a term such as socialism, and, hence, no one convenient dismissal, is acceptable to a thinking person.
Socialism has many current forms, some more invested in governmental "control" and involvement (western European govenrments) ostensibly stemming from the belief that people will not pay for that from which they do not receive immediate benefit; i.e., roads, health care, the military (need taxes to pay for these things). Yes, the US is a socialist state as well, as it governs some aspects of production, some aspects of capital disbursement (in the form of the Fed, quasi-governenmental instititutions such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, special US-backed corporate loans ala Chrysler in the 80s), health care and wealth distribution (taxes). We just do it to less of an extent that some claimed "socialist" states.
If there is anything I would like people to undersdtand, it would be that socialism is not a bad word, no more so tham "dog", and that your unbiased assessment, as opposed to your knee-jerk dismissal, is warranted to truly understand and judge this concept.

And, American cowboy, I know you've been brought up to believe you are independent and it is your manifest destiny to strive to whatever length to outcompete, but remember you live in a community and those you outcompete will lose, and your charity should have been given prior to their loss, or their need to receive a handout. In this way we all win and enemies or the disenfranchised no longer exist.

Many American's instantly rubbish socialism becuase during the cold war their government and education system brainwashed them into believing that Socialism=Communism.
These same Americans now find themselves unable to pay for medical treatment and having to work 3 jobs in order to stay above the poverty line.
Remember kids, Socialsm DOES NOT EQUAL Communism.
