    Sir. You’re displaying elements of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Your confidence is disproportionate to how incorrect you are.

    But since you’re not willing to agree with me as to what socialism even is I’ll once again simply say good day to you.

        Says the guy unable to understand any wiki article.

        And scream up and down all you want social programs are not equal socialism.

        Literally any form of government can have social programs and not have to be socialism.

        The fact that you can’t understand the simple concept is beyond amazing.

          I understand Wikipedia articles, that’s why I sent you one, which apparently you still don’t understand. Have you ever even taken an economics class? Are you so absolutely sure you’re right that you refuse to actually learn anything in case it might show you’re wrong?

            I am 100% sure I’m right that public welfare is not socialism. I’m also 100% sure that public welfare is not an economic system in which the means of production are publicly owned.

            I’m 100% sure that you’ve decided that anything beneficial a government does is somehow “socialism,” and I’m 100% sure you don’t actually know what socialism means.

            Do you know how I know all of that?

            I read the actual definitions, along with the supplementary information explaining the different systems.

            Something I strongly suspect you haven’t done.

            Because, you know… you’re wrong.
