You mentioned not being sure if you understand Socialism.
Well here is a little something that always comes to mind for me
when I see or hear mention of the "ism's" and their kin of planet earth's economic doctrine's


Two Cow Politics

Socialism : You have two cows. You keep one and give one
to your neighbor.

Communism : You have two cows. The government takes them
Both and provides you with milk.

Fascism : You have two cows. The government takes them and
sells you the milk.

Bureaucracy : You have two cows. The government takes them
Both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and
Then pours it down the drain.

Capitalism : You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

Corporate: You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to
produce the milk of four cows and then act surprised
When it drops dead.

Democracy : You have two cows. The government taxes you
To the point that you must sell them both in order to
support a man in a in a foreign country who has only one cow

I love it. Thanks. So I was right in that NASA and the military can't be socialist by definition..

Welcome. After reading that strangely weird, but good opening post...? I can safely say, you're going to fit right in around here.

Why thank you. Sometimes when the sky is blue and the grass is green, the earth is still going to swallow all of Asia. but then sometimes it just makes you remember that like we already knew:

If you're an ant,
and you're walking along
across the top of a cup of pudding,
you probably have no idea
that the only thing between you
and disaster is the strength
of that pudding skin.
