A very good post and subject. In this modern time socialism is not familiar to most people. So if people say you are a socialist they mean social. I am not a socialist nor social. If it comes to most people are not. I agree Socialism is a political solution for modern slavery of the government. I know plenty of elderly people living in East Europe who want it back. After all these years the biggest group is still not used or motivated to work. Now they sit home, drink, feel depressed because they also lost the social aspect of "nobody is jobless". They never learned to keep themselves busy. Btw also in Socialism (or communism) there is a rich top and there always was. Not eating and being dressed like the rest and driving a fat car and travelling the world.

I have a world theory that holds that it takes one full generation before the full effect of a radical change in any large institution can be truly tested. For instance: Harry Truman integrated the US armed forces in 1948. By 1978 it was fully accomplished, but it took another generation (30 years) for it to not be a thing.
The people that really got shellacked in Eastern Europe are the ones that spent the bulk of their life under the old system and had no real way to make the change to the new. I strongly suspect that when their children put children in the mix it will not be a 'thing'. Time will tell, but sometimes it takes some serious time to really see what happened.
