Are you really making the argument that government provided services are socialism lite? So I guess the Romans were socialists then with their aquaducts.

- arethuza 9y agoServices like the UK NHS are certainly regarded as a form of socialism, as Aneurin Bevan NHS found said: "A free health service is pure Socialism and as such it is opposed to the hedonism of capitalist society." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan
- Broken_Hippo 9y agoYes, really, they are. And I'm not sure why this stuff is so surprising: one of the strong facets of scandinavian-style socialism is the government services and safety net. Single payer healthcare is often villified as "socialized health care". I'm pretty sure UBI and healthcare fit into the spectrum.
