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.

I am from Canada, a nation that has recently gone full on "socialism". I am sort of new to the idea, so forgive me if I don't fully yet understand the entire scope of it, but as of so far, the government has taken away my job, is paying me just enough money to keep my rented home, and food in the fridge, but restricts my movements, and how I behave in public. So far, I'm not much of a fan.

@MougyWolf I think taking away your job and restricting your movements and behavior is part of handling the pandemic, not socialism. Only the getting to keep your house and having food part is socialism. If you don't like the help with that, you can of course go live on the street instead. Nobody forces you to accept the help you're offered.
