Have I missed something?
Are you suggesting that because the US has a public sector it is automatically socialist?
By that argument all Govts are socialist...
It doesn't own industry. It redistributes resources.
The majority of eduation in the US is publicly owned on the premise society on the whole benefits from an educated population.
The US is heavily regulated.
State sonsored social programs eat away more than a quarter of the country's money.
Are these not socialist characteristics?
In a definition i read stated it was a medium between full blown capitalism and communism. Is the US communist? Certainly not. Is the US capitalist? Certainly not. It is in the middle and socialism is this middle.
Bollocks is "socialism in the middle"
You pretending the US is "socialist" :rolleyes" and Labrat pretending he's "against authority" just results in a complete waste of time and energy
*sigh*
So, as well as having redefinied anarchism so its no longer anything to do with authority, you've now redefined socialism so its no longer to do with ownership of the means of production.
I think I'll go and shine potatoes or do something else useful instead.
Errrr...no. I think you'll find that there are commonly agreed political definitions. Visit a bookshop sometime.
