So goverment healthcare is not a socialistic system? The public infrastructure that is built using taxes and can be used by anyone and is owned by the goverment which represents the inhabitants is not socialistic?

wikipedia: While no single definition encapsulates the many types of socialism,[12] social ownership is the one common element.

what, if not a socialistic system, is it then in your opinion?

No, those things are not socialist. As I said, if you want to learn what socialism is, go crack a book.

just because you say doesnt make it right. If you know so much better, you would be able to write down what it is instead.

maybe read jcranmer's response above. citing him: "government provision of services (are) a hallmark of socialism"

I'm not here to educate you; I don't want the downvotes I'd get from attempting to do so. I just want you to stop spreading misinformation.
