What is socialism?
#1
What is socialism?
It seems I've been taking myself to be a socialist for granted... the last two political alignment quizzes I took told me I was a libertarian. Is there something wrong with me, am I thinking libertarians are something they aren't, are socialists something other than what I think?

Tell me what you think defines socialism, and a resident socialist might well not be a socialist any longer 0.o Not that I want you anti-socialists to color your responses because of that last line Wink

Edit: maybe i'm just sleepy or my brain can't run in english after such a russian scouring (Isvinietya, oo mnya odeen voprose. Kak po rooskee walk?)... but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism isn't doing anything for my poor aching brain ^_^
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
