Can we cut the "you do not know what socialism is" out?

That is a response used when an argument is lost in telling what is happening in this country. If you cannot see America has moved closer to this definition you are not paying attention.

1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

2 a: 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
