You know, I'm really sick of socialism being defined down. Socialism refers to the state control over the means of production and the subsequent redistribution of produced goods. I get that redistributive or welfare programs, or state-supported projects that benefit all (i.e., national parks, defense) are kind of socialist in that the government pays for them and often-times progressively collects tax money to support them.
But.
Those programs aren't socialist, OK? Socialism is a specific thing, and with very rare exceptions it isn't done in the United States.
