It's not YOUR IDEA of socialism, which is wrong. You are equating socialism with communism. And there is very little in common between these two things.

What are you talking about? Why do you think socialism is called socialism? It’s because socialism means the socialisation of the means of production. If the means of production remain in private hands but taxes are levied on the profits earned through the utilisation of those means of production in order to provide public services then its a social democracy.

This is not “my idea” of what socialism means, it’s just what socialism means. You have created your own, personal, bespoke definition for a word already objectively defined and are railing against anybody who uses the actual definition. In other words: brainless, ignorant moron.

Agree, but please keep in mind that what was implemented in Eastern Europe and Asia was only a 'prelude' to Socialism. Imagine what that would look like.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leninism

Leninism is the political theory for the organisation of a revolutionary vanguard party and the achievement of a dictatorship of the proletariat as political prelude to the establishment of socialism.

I suggest you learn what socialism is: https://philosophyterms.com/socialism/

And please, let go of shillypedia and online "dictionaries" that are used for orwellian purposes. And that's heavily documented.
