A selfish, lazy and uneducated individual who believes the governmemt should help them at the expense of ambitious and sucessful people. Usually will claim to want to help all the poor, downtrodden people, but is in reality only interested in his/her self-interest, just like absolutely all people.
If someone you know claims to be a socialist, then do the right thing and help them enroll in a basic macro-economics course.

An idiot who believes that we should take money from the rich and give it to the poor. this would not work because then the poor would have no motivation to become the rich. and the rich would eventually die out. this kind of society would only last a short while. the U.S. is already becoming like this.
"i don't want to frikkin work ever!"
"here's some money."
"now i can sit on my lazy ass all day and let the rich do my work! yay!"

A man with a very small penis. In order to endow himself with more, he will attempt to lop off portions of other mens penises for his own use, and failing that he will just kill the bearer of said larger penis.
The size of your penis is much larger than mine, therefore to ensure equality you must give me an inch of yours that I will use as my own.

A person believing in basic amounts of equality for all individuals. Different variations hold different extremes, ranging from free government-provided basic medical, financial and educational services to complete redistribution of wealth.
Does not hate America, in fact, most see it as the greatest country on Earth. But rather than sit back, ignore the problems it still has and be happy the way it is, they look for ways to further improve life for all its people.
A common feature of socialists is the desire to focus on human issues (poverty, illness and education) rather than social issues (abortion, gay marriage, religion). This causes most neoconservatives to hate them with every beat of their cold, black hearts.

Socialist: So, you don't want to pay more taxes to fund care for everyone? Fine. Let's legalize marijuana, something we spend billions of dollars a year trying to get rid of while fighting a losing battle. We'll apply heavy taxes to its sale, similar to alcohol or cigarettes, with appropriate age restrictions for purchase and use. Nonviolent offenders will be freed, and most drug dealers will forced out of business. We'll take the tax money created there -- along with the billions spent quarterly on police and federal prisons -- to actually pump Social Security back to life and establish free clinics, and expand tuition assistance. The boost to the economy from an entirely new multi-billion dollar industry will allow job growth and provide millions of people to get new or better jobs.
