Socialism is the workers owning the means of production. It is not welfare programs. It is not a "socialist" program to give a starving person bread, it is a state run charity, and they make damn well sure it's both hard to get and try to shame you for needing it.

When society was largely feudal, was it "socialism" when the king hosted a public feast to celebrate selling his daughter to a rival warlord? Or was it him giving some of the peasant's taxes back to them and expecting gratitude?
