Because Wikipedia has all the unbiased truth ever, too, right?

I see no reason why commies would be biased against commies. Unless you're telling me the Wikipedia version is watered down, in which case I believe you.
As for commie-commie infighting, I couldn't care less !

I'm sorry but what you believe to be "socialism" is ABSOLUTE EXTREMIST socialism. It's like saying being Christian means getting crucified at Easter or some shit like that. Yes, the most extreme examples of the category can reach that far. Doesn't mean that's what it's all about.
I don't know who is distorting that idea about socialism, whether it's only in the English language, or only in the USA, but fuck, this is something all right.
The UK is socialist, and so is most of Europe. The moment you have the state stepping in to reduce inequity (not inequality, but INEQUITY) such as offering universal education, healthcare, or whatever program, THAT IS SOCIALIST.
I don't care what shittypedia says. It's just a website which any shithead can edit.
For some reason I see people around here suddenly saying "socialism" and describing communism which aims at ELIMINATING INEQUALITY, which unerringly reduces living standards towards zero. Why this is being done, who is trying to change the meaning of these important words, I don't know but hell this is something all right!
