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.

You work together to solve social and infrastructure problems. This requires something called "organization" and "empathy". It also requires funding through taxes. As Bertrand Russel said, "Taxes are the price we pay for a sane society". In the near future, advanced earth based governments and all space based habitats will be socialist/communist as everything must be shared. Capitalism/fascism will be seen to be as quaint and outmoded as the imperial measurement system and will fade away as the wealthy few become outcasts.
