Umm. Ok. Normally when ppl talk about socialisism they're usually more talking about state provision of the means to live for those who would otherwise be unprovided for; ownership and control of means of production is generally more associated w/ the word communism. Obvs both big tents, but still, odd defn IMO

Americans are pretty confused but that's not what socialism means.
