The editor notes that socialism is defined by Merriam-Webster as "a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies." Webster’s New Riverside dictionary defines socialism as “a social system or theory in which the producers possess political power and the means of producing and distributing goods.” Isn’t that what we already have, the big corporations owning the politicians, who make the laws benefiting the corporations? Think about it.
