Name one socialist country that killed masses of its own people?
You could try to claim Hitler, though he seemed to be more of a military dictator than a socialist. Other than that I can't think of a single socialist country that kills its own people. Communists do, but not socialists.

I think America should get a say on whether we want Socialism or not. Hijacking a party in order to create a Socialist America will not go down well. They should stop lurking in the background and sniping every chance they get and make their case for it if that is what they desire.
On November 26, 1976, the report was reviewed in the book section of The Washington Post by Herschel McLandress,the pen name for Harvard professor John Kenneth Galbraith. Galbraith wrote that he knew firsthand of the report's authenticity because he had been invited to participate in its creation; that although he was unable to be part of the official group, he was consulted from time to time and had been asked to keep the project secret; and that while he doubted the wisdom of letting the public know about the report, he agreed totally with its conclusions.
He wrote: "As I would put my personal reputation behind the authenticity of this document,

It has MANY companion documents and pacts penned and signed even before this policy took on the name of "Agenda 21". That is no secret either. The smoking gun as it were is not written in bold ink in plain words for us to see and say "hey that's not legal". It is also very clear without explicit language.
Corporatism, also known as corporativism has more than one meaning. It may refer to political, or social organization that involves association of the people of society into corporate groups, such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, patronage, or scientific affiliations, on the basis of common interests. Corporatism is theoretically based upon the interpretation of a community as an organic body. The term corporatism is based on the Latin root word "corpus" (plural – "corpora") meaning "body".
In 1881, Pope Leo XIII commissioned theologians and social thinkers to study corporatism and provide a definition for it. In 1884 in Freiburg, the commission declared that corporatism was a "system of social organization that has at its base the grouping of men according to the community of their natural interests and social functions, and as true and proper organs of the state they direct and coordinate labor and capital in matters of common interest".
Corporatism is related to the sociological concept of structural functionalism. Corporate social interaction is common within kinship groups such as families, clans and ethnicities. Aside from humans, certain animal species are known to exhibit strong corporate social organization, such as penguins. Corporatist types of community and social interaction are common to many ideologies, including: absolutism, capitalism, conservatism, fascism, liberalism, progressivism, reactionism, socialism, and syndicalism.
Corporatism may also refer to economic tripartism involving negotiations between business, labour, and state interest groups to establish economic policy. This is sometimes also referred to as neo-corporatism.

well if the economic model that brought our success is respected and that is all that was exported then fine. It is being systematically destroyed though.
You know the only real role of government towards business in a capitalism? Limits. Regulation. That is it.
ETA: Capitalism is included in the list of ideologies which include corporatism.

I notice the tactic of the semantic argument thrown around whenever someone criticizes the left or socialism in particular. It never fails.
Make people argue over the definition of things always vying for a pure form definition, when none has ever existed in the real world, yet the real world has examples of the policies any ideology advocates ripe with failures and successes to be measured. But those go ignored because our dictionaries are not perfect to everyone’s liking……
