Socialism is a continuum that the US has been on to some degree since its inception, it isn't a case of Capitalism good, socialism bad. Here's how I envy you: the people you have policy disagreements with will engage on those in good faith. I wish the opposite were true.
- qingcharles 1mo agoAll these anti-socialists never questions who pays for their roads, their schools, their police, their fire service, the military, the FAA, the USPS, their libraries, their parks, the courts, NASA? Are all of these right-wing people paying privately for those?
- LastTrain 1mo agoDon't get me wrong I think it is fine to question who pays for those things. And if you are one of those "I lean libertarian" types you probably are OK with private funding for NASA & USPS, but they need to be intellectually honest with why they are OK with masked federal agents roaming the streets.

Basic education for the people = good Higher education for the people = socialism Bail outs and subsidies for businesses = good Safety net for individuals = socialism Public highway = good Public railroad = socialism
