Thanks, that explanation is helpful. In the future when I discuss about socialism with US people, I'll take into account the likeliness that they're attacking a boogeyman, and that a precise definition of the term will be needed to advance the discussion.

Thanks for the read. I intuitively try to avoid loaded words and think in terms of the properties they define; though this thread was about the term "socialism" in particular, not just the general concepts covered by it.
