EU to Greenlight Chat Scanning Proposal

Almost all EU countries have some sort of socialized healthcare system, as well as a socialized welfare safety net, socialized retirement plans (you are forced to pay for public retirement plans even if private plans would yield much greater returns), ...

It sure does look like a textbook example of socialism.

Since we are on a technical/scientific site I'll put it in mathematical terms: implementing social policies is a Necessary But Not Sufficient condition for a Country to be socialist.

There are literally zero countries in the EU that are socialist, they only have ~some~ social policies.

So where's the "social ownership of the means of production"?

Socialism is not social democracy. Socialism is a economical system where workers own the means of production instead of capital owners.

You do not know the meaning of political terms and are using your own preconceived notions of what they mean to then call a very capitalistic institution (as the EU is) something it's not.

Educate yourself, it will do wonders for you and everyone you interact with.
