  5. kazooga 1234 the dictionary is not claimed to be the word of god. it was written by fallible people. people capable of being "debunked" http://theweek.com/articles/466957/how-wrong-definition-literally-sneaked-into-dictionary i noticed you pasted only the first two definitions from dictionary . com i suggest you go back and follow the links for 3 and 4- 3. (initial capital letter) the principles and practices of the Communist Party. 4. communalism. and watch both the khan academy link and read or watch Richard Wolff. ill give you a clue- stalinism was not socialism, it was state capitalism. im sorry kazooga, but according to Marx (perhaps youve heard of his work Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto?) and according to Richard Wolff (the leading expert in Marxism/socialism) - both define socialism as worker ownership of the means of their production. Not statism. Not central planning. Not stalinism/state capitalism. worker ownership of the means of production Wolff clarifies that socialists and communists differ only in what they believe is the best way to implement "democratic control of the means of production"- by evolution- ie transforming the State, or by revolution- ie capturing the State. the USA is said to be a representative democracy, or a republic. but studies show that average citizens have no effect on public policies. that we are instead an Oligarchy. people can continue calling the USA a representative democracy or a republic all they want, and on paper (or an online dictionary) they will be correct. but not in Practice. same for the history of socialism and communism. even Nazi was short for National Socialist, but we define them as Fascists. i suggest you also read some Noam Chomsky to further widen your understanding beyond online dictionaries. here is a short clip to start- watch?v=K4Tq4VE8eHQ
