I Am Interested In Politics
Certain people persist in labeling President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or other Democrats as socialists. To clear up the confusion, here is the Merriam-Webster dictionary's definition of socialism:
[b]socialism[/b] noun, so·cial·ism | \ ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm \
Definition of socialism
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Does any of that sound like Obama, Clinton or Sanders?
