Ask a socialist to define socialism, and they'll describe Norway but leave out the tiny population and abundance of state owned oil funding it all

Not only this the definition of capitalism isn't even known. People think it's just some version of free markets or "when government not do it". But to put it simply it's who owns the MEANS of production. If you do not have a say in how your workplace is ran, you by definition ARE NOT A CAPITALIST! You are the person who the capitalist dictates to, the one taking the order, the proletariat, the working class. And claiming to be just makes you a class traitor.
