Basically we encompass everything as black/white socialism/capitalism
When pretty much every country (including the United States currently ) implements both.
And the problem is by demonizing socialism as the main economic structure, politicians basically succeeded in shaming people for any socialist policy they disagree with.
what you re describing is communism. socialism is another thing
socialism emphasis on a fair (not necessarily equal) distribution of wealth among citizens. socialist programs and policies can exist alongside capitalism in a society, which is not true in a communist system.
I too love spreading misinformation on the internet.
Correct me if I'm wrong
The Difference Between Socialism, Communism, and Marxism Explained by a Marxist.
What you are referring above to as 'socialism' is really 'social democracy', which, despite the name, is still a branch of capitalism.
I see, I've had it wrong. Thanks
