Socialism is when government's taking care of you, you send all your money to the government, the government decides how to spend it instead of letting the people spend it and make all those decisions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Socialism is about claims of justice, and it is also about money: about wealth, income, physical and financial capital. It is an ideology based on allocating economic resources. It may try to achieve that goal by nationalizing assets, by command-and-control regulation, or by taxation and redistribution.
Socialism is nothing more nor less than the social, political and ideological system which breaks the fetters upon economic growth created under capitalism and opens the way to a new period of economic and social expansion on a much larger scale.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.
If you want government to take everything, if you want government to take more and more over with the banks, more of the industries, all of a sudden you're going to have a government auto czar, right there, right down the line, that's socialism.
The goal of socialism is a fairer allocation of economic resources, which its advocates often claim will also be a less wasteful one. Socialism is about who gets the goods and how. Socialism objects to markets because markets allocate resources in ways socialists believe to be unfair on both counts: both the who and the how.
Socialism is practical, in the best sense of the term; a living, vital force of inestimable value to society.
Socialism is nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.
Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism.
Socialism, as I understand it, is a system of democracy. Without democracy, there is no socialism.
