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.
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.

So every system in which there is any level of regulation is socialism according to your link. Every system that has ever existed is therefore socialist. To apply a term so broadly renders it meaningless. I am not going to respond to you anymore because you are very clearly stupid and retarded. You do have my sympathy however, and I hope they find a cure.

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.
