Your Definition

My take: all approaches to governing people lay on a spectrum and each is  interdependent with the economics of that society.  Because the terms cover widths on that spectrum, and are not able to be pigeon-holed, no one conveneient [definition] of a term such as socialism, and, hence, no one convenient dismissal, is acceptable to a thinking person.
  
Socialism has many current forms, some more invested in [governmental] "control" and [involvement] (western European govenrments) ostensibly stemming from the belief that people will not pay for that from which they do not receive immediate benefit; i.e., roads, health care, the military (need taxes to pay for these things).  Yes, the US is a socialist state as well, as it governs some aspects of production, some aspects of capital disbursement (in the form of the Fed, quasi-governenmental instititutions such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, special US-backed corporate loans ala Chrysler in the 80s),  health care and wealth [distribution] (taxes).  We just do it to less of an extent that some claimed "socialist" states.

If there is anything I would like people to undersdtand, it would be that socialism is not a bad word, no more so tham "dog", and that your unbiased assessment, as opposed to your knee-jerk dismissal, is warranted to truly [understand] and judge this concept.
