If so I can't imagine how angry and frustated you are but I think when people argue about Socialism they are ususally talking about two different things.

The Soviet system of Socialism, which is undemocratic and totalitarian, and the Western socialist parties which are both democratic and non-totalitarian.

One described it as “a system of government that provides citizens with health insurance, retirement support, and access to free higher education.” The other characterized it as “a system where the government controls key parts of the economy, such as utilities, transportation and communications industries.”


So before you start wishing people dead, you should at least make sure we are talking about the same thing.

Here is a primer I found helpful in making the distinction for discussion purposes.
