Socialism has a wide spectrum, so not sure exactly where each one of you guys draw your line on the scale.
America itself is not even full all out capitalism. It’s a mixed economy, leaning more to the right.
Even “conservatives” are not true to their principles and want socialism when things don’t go their ways. They are happy to privatize profits. But beg and cry to socialize their losses (gov’t bailouts, of which come from the public coffer), like the big banks and car manufacturers.
I don’t advocate for communism or hard socialism, as that’s not my political position, but at the very least have universal healthcare and some very basic income (guess you can call that welfare), something akin to canada... somewhere on the spectrum that’s a bit more left than where america is currently at.
