Original Note:
Harry Truman's 1952 quote reframes modest capitalist reforms as "socialism" to neutralize Cold War fears. But from a Marxist perspective, socialism means collective ownership of the means of production—not welfare programs that stabilize capitalism. https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/ https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ https://archive.org/details/democracyagainst0000wood
