That's not what socialism is though, I clarified it in the first post. If we have to resort to misinterpreting what it is to denounce it, that's not a good sign.

I agree, and also left wing in USA shouldn't call themselves liberals since they want a lot of intervention... and although one can't reduce socialism to be always based on government intervention you know that is what most people have been exposed to.

I actually think it's liberals calling themselves left-wing, rather than leftists calling themselves liberals.
