Dear Similar Worlds:

What does the word "socialism" mean to you?

It's not an argument. I'm not going to even respond to a single comment left on this post if there are any.

I just wanna know. It's driving me crazy.

To me socialism means an extension of human freedom, freedom from fear and from hunger, and finally freedom from governmental oppression. I can't see that socialism and conservatism are contradictory, and I don't think the free market fanatics are conservative. They are just greedy, and that's not a conservative virtue.
