A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property

I have never run into anyone on SI or anyplace else in the US or Canada who advocated the collective ownership of property. Not even close. I admit that I have, on occasion, used the term, socialist, to apply to left wingers, who are into social engineering with the public's tax money, but I know when I say it that even "socialist" is hyperbole when applied to the people found on SI.

If you want to label left wingers "communists" to exaggerate the difference you have with them, have the grace to not try to defend it with a dictionary. Perhaps you should use that dictionary to look up "hyperbole."
