Ya', never read the New Testament it seems. Acts ... the apostles ... living in 'community' ... sharing everything. Strong archeological evidence of 'in common' everything and sharing of all goods. The modern day kibbutz continues on ...

Socialism /ˈsoʊʃəlɪzəm/ is an economic system characterized by social ownership of the means of production and cooperative management of the economy; or a political philosophy advocating such a system.[1] "Social ownership" may refer to any one of, or a combination of, the following: cooperative enterprises, common ownership, autonomous public ownership or state ownership.[2] As a form of social organization, socialism is based on co-operative social relations and self-management; relatively equal power-relations and the reduction or elimination of hierarchy in the management of economic and political affairs.
A cooperative (also co-operative or co-op) is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit.[1] A cooperative is defined by the International Cooperative Alliance's Statement on the Cooperative Identity as "an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprise".[2] A cooperative may also be defined as a business owned and controlled equally by the people who use its services or by the people who work there. Various aspects regarding cooperative enterprise are the focus of study in the field of cooperative economics.

NONE which are found only in socialism...
I know people like you think that "socialism invented all good things"
Perhaps this might be news to you but conservatives/Republicans and in general right wing people also partake in generous things...
BTW, how many of you even believe in God?...

So do you believe in the God of the bible?...
Don't try to ignore the question...
If you don't believe in him then don't try to claim it is socialist because you have no idea of what you are talking about.

cooperative enterprises is one aspect and one aspect does not make fascism socialism.You are indeed making assertions that are fallacious in nature.

WRONG. Example - I don't believe in scientology but I am educated enough on it to know it's a crock. Example - I'm not a registered democrat but I understand what the party stands for. I'm not voting for Newt but I know what he stands for and what his history is. Your statement is wrong. A person doesn't have to be a part of a group and believe in it in order to understand it.

When people start defending a political system
go and ask a priest that same question and post here what he said.
