What is socialism?
It depends. Under my definition it definitely is.
For me, Socialism represents higher taxes for everyone and other things I think would be undesirable.
You're allowed to say Socialism is a good thing and have a different understanding. But under my definition, Socialism should be the last thing anyone should want outside of outright communism. Just my opinion.
I understand and I respect your opinion.
I might change my opinion as well, but I see socialism as democratic socialism or the ideology of Sanders. There is also a change in culture, we are used to a socialist system. Maybe if i'd ever in America, i would have a different experience of how it works.
The ideal system is a progressive tax system with tax cuts for the working class and lower middle class and tax increases for the rich class (depending on where they stand now, because sometimes they're already good). If i would be in America, i would decrease military's expenditure and use that money to cut taxes or invest somewhere else in (health, infrastructure, education (lower tuition fees). Socialism is redistribution of wealth and the goods, and some balance is needed, and it has advantages and disadvantages, but I can understand people who say socialism is bad, and i've moderated my position recently on it.
