Are those things not part of socialism? I think the real issue is thinking that socialism is a bad thing, while being a greedy, selfish, prick is seen as good.
That's literally the point.
Isn't the point that those things are common decency and explicitly not yet Socialism?
They are both common decency AND socialistic programs.
But you might be right, perhaps (especially back then) Truman wasn't really going for the second half of that. I somewhat retract, or at least acknowledge being less certain about, my prior response.🙂
Yeah, I don't see much wrong with the definitions. Socialism is what helps society, so the people.
