The first line in Wikipedia “Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems[1] characterised by social ownership of the means of production”.
To be clear, this definition goes back to 1832, where the original inventor of the word used to define a society “based on the shared ownership of resources”. So it is not just “the communist definition” it really is the definition, it did not “originally” refer to anything else.

But that definition from Wikipedia doesn’t contain the contested part of the definition, that it is a “transitional system”
