ELI5: What is socialism?
gpt
There is no unified definition for what socialism is, but generally it means something that is owned and operated by a community of people, or a government. Which is, in turn, owned by and operates as a part of the constituency of people who established and elected that government. Just about every developed country operates as a mixed economy, where some stuff is established by entrepreneurs as a private enterprise, and some shit is established under government funds and is operated as a public program or utility. And some stuff is an odd mix of both.
