France to deploy 89,000 security personnel

His Brit bum-boy should have showed up by now. They're a panto-horse, you know. It's the season.
 
The definition of socialism is a constantly moving target. :dunno:

No it isn't. You simply don't know what it is.

Start with the word 'public.'

I know .. you're confused. :0)

Can I assume that you do indeed support socialism by cashing your Socialist Security checks?

You can start with the name Marx ..




"It is the stage of transition from capitalism to communism where the means of production pass from private to collective ownership while the state still exists.

The concept, including suppressing “counter-revolutionaries”, was proclaimed by the Russian Bolsheviks in 1918.

Vladimir Lenin wrote that it is “won and maintained by the use of violence”, signalling the authoritarian drift that began after Russia’s 1917 October Revolution.

Communism
Marx and Engels wrote the “Manifesto of the Communist Party” in 1848, at a time of revolutionary turmoil in Europe.

It only reached a wide readership in 1872 but became part of the canon of the Soviet Bloc in the 20th century.

For Marx, the goal was the conquest of political power by workers, the abolition of private property, and the eventual establishment of a classless and stateless communist society."

Socialism

Socialism, social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM

Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.

You scream at it, but you don't even know what it is.

And about 90% of that is MOCKED as being very poor quality, inefficient, and rife with corruption and waste ... beginning with number one on your list. And none of them produce anything. They aren't "means of production".

Political control by the vast working majority as a stage to the abolition of the state, which exists only to preserve class exploitation.

All chiefs and no indians, ... how the eff does that work?

But thanks for at least providing a definition.
