In socialism everyone works for society for the benefit of society. Everyone works for everyone else. That's why it's call socialism which is derived from the word society. As opposed to working only for the profit of oneself.

So what part of the topic did someone miss ?
Socialism is achievable in the US. And don't tell me it can't be done.

the word "socialism" has become so bastardized that people are using the term to represent whatever they "think"
Oh do you mean like fascism and corporatism ?

Maslow's triangle tells us, when one has free housing, free healthcare, free education, one attains actualization and loves to work for free.

Everyone works for everyone. Everyone pays to everyone. Everyone earns from everyone. There is no contradiction. I scratch your back. You scratch mine. I teach you to read. You mow my lawn. No money involved.
I wish more people thought like this, or at least opened their minds enough to consider the possibilities.

And what about all those who aren't wanting to work, and don't care to work?
Admit that you'd like to either force those people to work or let them starve first, then maybe we can have a real conversation.
That goes for all the marxiphobes here as well.

Individual rights are protected under socialism.)(WHAT? Socialism is a scheme of work. Rather than working for one's own profit without regard for others, everyone works for everyone else. Maslow's triangle tells us, when one has free housing, free healthcare, free education, one attains actualization and loves to work for free(yes garbage men, bus drivers, construction workers would looove to work for free, not everyone is an artist or sit in the office do nothing government worker...CLUELESS. Humans inherently love to contribute and feel a sense of pride and self esteem.(if they get something of out it)It's like, humans inherently seek friendships. In socialism, people attain self actualization and inherently do their best at work for free and feel a sense of happiness in doing so.
Who are these people who would rather work than go boating, fishing, camping, golfing, drinking, going to movies, sports, driving, screwing, even video games. How bad does one's life have to suck to rather work than leisure.

If I loved to work for free, my house would be a whole lot cleaner than it is.
