This is the problem with people like you talking politics. You don't know what the hell you're talking about, and you think it's ok to just use words however you want. Socialism is a clearly defined term with certain objectives. You don't get to change it, conveniently, because it suits your purpose. Americans often use the term socialism incorrectly, because we don't have an honest discussion about it, and people are too lazy to learn the truth about it. I take the time to explain it to you, and you admittedly don't even consider what was written. You should stand corrected and move forward with a renewed understanding, but you are too arrogant to change. Instead, you try to justify your ignorance by pointing to the uninformed masses and misinterpreting Wikipedia articles. Good job, moron.

Look, dude... I'll throw you a bone, even though it will probably just bounce off your thick skull. Language is constantly changing, so I concede that you can't always expect a word to stay the same throughout time. The term socialism, in its infancy, was all over the place for about 10 years but was eventually co-opted, then settled down into a pretty rigid definition for over 150 years. In the last 5 years, people have been using it incorrectly America, thanks to Bernie Sanders. I can assure you Bernie knows the difference between a social democrat and democratic socialist. He is not being honest with it, and since he is not challenged, people just adopt his talking points. This results in people from both sides of the aisle misusing the term. You're no exception. If you think we should cast aside that definition that's been perfectly acceptable for so long, just because some people are lying and others are too stupid to question it, you're dumber than I thought.

Watch a video and learn something.

If it helps, it was made by a Marxist, so you don't even have to sacrifice any of your values.

The word has been abused in America for much longer than just 5 years.
Members of the Republican Party have been calling members of the Democratic Party socialists for longer than both of us have been alive.
