Definition of socialism

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/socialism

noun

a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

•policy or practice based on the political and economic theory of socialism.

•(in Marxist theory) a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism.

The term “socialism” has been used to describe positions as far apart as anarchism, Soviet state communism, and social democracy; however, it necessarily implies an opposition to the untrammeled workings of the economic market. The socialist parties that have arisen in most European countries from the late 19th century have generally tended toward social democracy



Zim: So, VA hospitals are not a 'means of production'.
VA Hospitals are, in fact, the means for delivering
a promised benefit to our Veteran Service Members.
