Why do people keep misusing the definition of socialism. Do workers own the means of production? If not, it's not socialism. Now I'm not a socialist but I'd like the words we use to have meaning so that we all know what we're collectively talking about.

Social benefits and social democracy != socialism, people should just use that term instead.

For so many instances of the word "social", it's difficult to see how we can't just tack -ism at the end and be happy.
