Note that this [socialism] is a theory, not a proven form of government.

The form of government in the US is fascism. The means of production are privately owned but are highly regulated and subjected to central planning by the state.

You make a very provocative point, but I believe there is truth in it, potentially at least. Food for thought.

I recently read an opinion that the term "Fascism" was expropriated by the socialists to label the Nazis so as to distance themselves from Hitler's programs. They were afraid that their loyal followers would abandon them if they realized that 3rd Reich was socialist, root and branch.
