...but I can't find it. Some examples were our interstate highway system, medicare, SS, etc. I would like to get the complete list for my friends who don't understand the meaning. Thanks.

2. Highways and libraries are 2 of my favorites

Ike had some socialist leanings.

3. the fire department is useful

local government is useful. We have our roads lit and they collect our waste. Libraries too.

A democratic socialist society is one that is mixed - local businesses and the government - working for the people.

4. Which of them involve public ownership of the means of production?

I know it's hard to explain why Socialism isn't scary, but it wouldn't be a problem if Senator Sanders didn't insist on calling himself a Socialist.

you pillar of purity you.



I'd talk about the differences, but since there's zero chance of any of it sinking in I'll just save us both the headache.
