Here, for your edification should you choose to look at it, is the real definition of socialism. Note: That is what was tried in Venezuela. It is not what is being tried in Europe. It is not what Bernie Sanders is advocating.
Now, if you so choose, you can continue to post using your own creative definition of the term, but this is the real one:
You're free to disagree with the dictionary if you want. What was tried in Venezuela was real socialism, the definition I gave. What is being done in Europe, what Bernie Sanders calls "social Democrat" is something else altogether.
I think it is a poorly thought out definition.
What you feel is "the real" definition is, is irrelevant.
Yes, I do choose to say what I damn well please while keeping within the rules of this forum. Freedom of speech is a beotch, ain't it? lol

Socialism turns a society into one of government dependence, low productivity, less freedom, and a hell of a lot of poor families.

OK, then, you go ahead and define words any way you want. If you want to call a chair an apple, go right ahead. Just don't expect the rest of us to eat that apple
True socialism should not have elitists, that is namely the total opposite of what socialism in most socialists minds is about.
The ONLY way socialism will avoid having corrupt elitists, if it's a nation of robots. Human nature always ruins socialism. ALWAYS.

That is why communist like socialism can never ever ever work. People are vain, jealous and never satisfied with anything.
Yeah but that never stopped the kook left from trying.
