Umm. Ok. Normally when ppl talk about socialisism they’re usually more talking about state provision of the means to live for those who would otherwise be unprovided for; ownership and control of means of production is generally more associated w/ the word communism. Obvs both big tents, but still, odd defn IMO
Socialism is democratic control of the factors of production. Crony capitalists paying each other isn’t socialism.

Americans are pretty confused but that’s not what socialism means.
Sure, that’s why my phrasing was so specific about ‘usually when people say…’. I acknowledge your point and accept it as correct however.
