Which begs the question:
“How socialist are we?”
Most all countries are socialist...to include the US. However, there’s this thick layer of capitalist that exist which gives you a mixture of 80-percent capitalism and 20-percent socialism. Taxes, social security Meidcare, etc....all hinge to socialism.
The point of failure is when a government has seized enough capitalist assets....that there is no more taxation occurring, no more profit occurring....then the whole set-up of socialism starts to fall apart. Finland survives on as a socialist state because they make a number of things which sell to other countries and taxes can be collected. Once you reach a point where you have nothing much to sell...socialism will kill off the entire magic formula.
Well, we have no shortage of Urban Socialist Utopias...
What Trump’s really saying is total government fails wherever it’s faithfully implemented.
Social cooperation works well when the leaders are held accountable by the people.
We have the BEST socialism; we just cheat enough not to panic the herd. Not faithful!

Very socialist via regulatory socialism. Which is why Trump’s gutting regulations as fast as he can.
