Its the definition according to the people who dont actually want socialism...

Everyone disagrees with what socialism means when you listen to the people who say "Socialism is the Soviets! Socialism is death panels! Socialism is when government bad!"

But if youre listening to those people you dont actually care what Socialism is, you just want an excuse to keep a broken system so you dont have to work at changing it.

Socialism is unions... but from the top down instead of just at the bottom trying to mitigate the problems brought about by capitalism. Socialism is people working together for the greater good instead of the greater profit. Socialism is people matter instead of money.

I suppose if that's the opposite of what you want, youre right to oppose it.
