For those who aren't familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn't be believed, or being influenced to believe something that's not necessarily in your best interests.

No I'm genuinely asking for your answer on this because none of your definitions line up or make sense. You realised that your definition of socialism is so wide reaching that it covers communism as well as capitalism.

Trump seizing 10% of Intel

That is a communist move. Trump is closer to a communist dictator than he to a democratic liberal leader.

Definition of capitalism. An economic system where most of the capital is owned privately and distributed through markets.

    I apologize. I thought you were trolling or worse. Yea I generally think socialism is any government run program that redistributes resources for social goals. Like educating children and providing care for the infirm.
