Regime Change Amping Up in Venezuela, with Guaido's 'Tactical Action' and Engineered Power Blackouts

Yes, socialism isn't Totalitarianism like you so quickly slippery sloped from socialism to. Socialism us not complete control of the economy or private enterprise.
Socialism is an extensive welfare, educational, health care, housing and other necessities required for a dignified existence, own and controlled by the state through taxes.

What are you ridiculing exactly? That you think control over basic necessities for a dignified existence is control over the economy? That you cannot have free enterprise and socialism? Ridiculous.

Wrong. Check the definition of socialism, it doesn't even mention those things, it is all about the means of production. You don't even know the definition of socialism.

And socialism is a form of totalitarianism, every socialist country has ended up in totalitarianism.

I don't need to know what the dictionary says about Socialism to know what socialist policy is. The point I want to make is that "all about the means of production" do not mean anything. Which means if production? Educational, medical, housing? How much of the production must be "about it".

Tell me I'm wrong and offer some nonsense "all about the means of production".

No, socialism is not "all about the means of production" and it's not about totalitarian control over the economy.

Yes it is, otherwise it wouldn't be socialism.

What is the difference between capitalism and socialism in your opinion?
