 I thought I'd check wikipedia for socialism, I see there are quite a few different (mis) conceptions of it.

This was right at the top of the page and fits my idea of it:

Socialism:

For the concept where the state promotes the social and economic well-being of its citizens sometimes mistaken with socialism, see Welfare state.

Gillard,the ugly face of socialism and social  engineering. The red plague that destroyed so many countries and lives and we still have modern adherents to this murderous doctrine.

Not as OTT and slanderous as some of the ones I've seen here lately about Mr Abbot and Mr Hockey. At least not more so.

I suppose invoking the whole red commie socialist line of argument is a bit like a version of Godwin's Law.   Methinks the argument has been lost.
