Justin Trudeau a modern-day socialist

Over time, the meaning of socialism has changed and evolved.

Its technical definition remains state ownership of the means of production – namely factories, machinery, etc.

For the most part though, there are very few socialists who now advocate for the government to nationalize industries.
