People use the word 'socialist' as a name-calling, they do not really know what it means, yes. I think it's kind of funny, but also sad because it shows ignorance in a legit debate.
Also remember you can't think of government as one entity, I think this is a mistake. It is hundreds of peoples, with hundreds of seperate goals. These are the same troubles the councils of Rome had! (but less daggers).
So when you say the gov't is going to do 'this' or 'that', this is a mistake too, you should look at the individuals in it and their goals for the deeper picture. This will enrich your side of the debate.
