To me "socialism" has always meant things like Social Security and National Healthcare. It's never meant government "ownership" of the means of production. Apparently there are VAST DEGREES of socialism. Was Teddy Roosevelt a "socialist" when he broke up the corporate monopolies with his "trust busting"? Was the U.S. being socialistic when it broke up the telecommunication monopolies? Was it socialism when the U.S. said factories couldn't work 12 year olds 15 hours a day? Where's the LINE between Capitalism and Socialism exactly?
