You can't just go applying the word "socialist" to everything. The term must be applied to systems and regimes where social class and social welfare are the main ideological concepts around which everything is built. Bread and circuses in the capital don't count. Various state monopolies don't make a socialist economy, either. Oligarchies and nomenklatura exist in all manner of regimes, and are no distinct feature of socialism! Words have meanings, and can't be chucked around as you please. Well, ones like "racist" can, if you're an enemy of Western civilisation, but as we saw in November, that sort of behaviour doesn't help you in the long run.
