Some of LBJs advisers argued for better poverty programs not on amelioristic grounds but on social order grounds--the best way to head off social turmoil.

What difference does motive make in labeling the construct?

Socialism generally means state control of the economy, not the sort of mixed economy one sees in the 60s.

If LBJ's social welfare programs do not fit under the rubric of socialism, then where does it fit?
