Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly owned. In a pure socialist system, there’s no such thing as private property — even if you work for yourself or earn money from your job, your labor, salary and the products of that labor rightly belong to the people.
Socialism is an economic system in which a means of production, such as money and other forms of capital, are owned to some degree by the public (via the state). This stands in contrast to a capitalist economic system, where means of production are owned by private individuals or companies.

Socialists believe that everyone deserves equal access to basic necessities like healthcare and education because they are fundamental rights. To achieve this equality, they believe that we must share wealth evenly among all citizens through taxation. Socialists also advocate for government intervention in order to protect workers’ rights and keep them safe from exploitation by employers who have more power than they do: the right to strike at work without losing their jobs is one example of this kind of protection against exploitation; another would be a requirement by law that employers pay fair wages (a minimum wage).

Conclusion
As you can see, there are many different ways that socialism can be practiced. What’s important to remember is that the current system in America is not truly free-market capitalism, but rather a mixture of capitalism with some socialist policies. There may be a day when we have a true free-market society where no one owns anything except what they’ve earned or inherited from family members…but until then, there will always be some kind of compromise between these two extremes.
