Socialism is what we see in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Iceland or the Netherlands. There is no socialism in Venezuela. There is no socialism in Cuba, China or North Korea. There was no socialism in the U.S.S.R. (notwithstanding what that second “S” stood for). Anyone can throw out a name, but that doesn’t make it so, it only makes them liars (but we already knew that).
There is good socialism and bad socialism.
Good socialism:
• Universal comprehensive no-fee health care
• Universal tuition-free public education through college
• Guaranteed secure retirement program
• Job training, job placement
• Proactive social services to PREVENT crime
• Infrastructure
• Law enforcement, firefighting, disaster relief
.
Bad socialism:
• Corporate welfare (socialism for the rich)
• Socialized professional sports (all rich people)
• Tax exemptions for churches that non-believers have to make up for (socialized religion)
