Do you know what socialism is? Have you lived at least a week in socialism (not on vacation)?

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production.
Workers being the people who work as opposed to an owning class that doesn't work.
And means of production being the farms, factories etc.

Just because Venezuela had nationalised resources and free healthcare doesn't make them socialist.

They were nationalists.
Libertarians, nationalists, socialists, all provide free healthcare and nationalise their resources.

Even some capitalist countries have nationalised resources and most have social welfare programs and subsidized healthcare.

None of that stuff is exclusive to socialism.
Socialism is just about removing the parasites who make their wealth by exploiting working people instead of working for their money like everyone else.
