It was too long. Socialism can’t just be any government program at all, or there is no sense to there being a definition. Government control over the means of production is where socialism begins. Like in England, when the government owned some of the industries. . .

Okay, I’m not inferring social security is full blown socialism. I does, however, have aspects of socialism. Like the whole definition states, socialism is not theory that’s completely set in stone.
