Please learn the difference between socialism and democratic socialists.  You’re embarrassing yourself.[/quote]

Walz admits he’s a socialist and had socialist values. We are not a socialist country. [/quote]

Yes, we are. You just call it Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the GI Bill and pretty much everything the military receives in terms of housing, the ACA, minimum wage laws, maximum hours, child labor laws, subsidizing higher education/home ownership, FEMA, section 8 housing, subsidies for energy companies and agriculture. [/quote]

Military members receive a compensation and benefits package for their service. That’s not socialism.

The entire idea of our military embraces core socialist principles of providing for the collective good and ensuring that basic needs are met through government support.[/quote]

Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Socialism does not mean wealth distribution, it means that production and the associated benefits are controlled by the labor, whether it be by public ownership, collective ownership, etc.

That military has a strict hierarchy. It's controlled by one person, the Commander in Chief and then by a small group of military leaders that function as administrators. It's not controlled by any collective. The "public" has some say through voting, but does not ever vote directly on military decision-making, which means it doesn't qualify as "control."

It's not a entity that undergoes "production". Socialism is an economic theory, but the military is a national defense unit. There are certainly economic consequences, but you don't have a profit motive or "customers" in the traditional sense, so your analysis is incorrect.
