a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

By that definition, America would not be considered "socialist" until gov controls 100% of allocation of resources and money.

Nobody is calling for socialism, but the current class of Dems definitely have socialist tendencies!

Some simply want a massive welfare state but can't do math. Others want the Gov take complete control so we can all be "equal" in the eyes of Marx

Almost nobody wants that. That's just what right wing nincompoops say because they are unable to argue any point which is nuanced.

That's a great point. Aside from Cuba and North Korea, are any countries actually actively pursuing Marxism? Even the red scare boogiemen China and Russia are no longer advocating for state owned means of production. It's actually a pretty quaint and antiquated approach.

I prefer to keep my slippery slopes confined to Kirkwood, Heavenly and Squaw Valley, thank you very much.
