Googling for the definition of socialism returns results[1] that can be condensed into a simple: "Government ownership 
of the sources of production" - something which was not advocated by anyone.

The left-right spectrum is simplistic and naïve[2].

But then again, in certain countries you either have to be a pro-ID, pro-business, pro-life, God-fearing polluting and 
armed redneck or a lawyer-hugging, atheistic, pro-choice, sandal-wearing environmentalist in hoc with the unions.

And what spectrum would you be measuring with?

Generally, I'm a libertarian (LITTLE "l") - which you definitely are not. In fact, you are very left of me (as an 
American would see the spectrum), so far left that I've already called you socialist. Besides the fact that you live in 
a socialistic democracy, you espouse socialist ideas, therefore you must be a socialist or, at least, within talking 
range of them on the political spectrum...
