Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SS disability, the entire US military, police departments, fire departments, roads and highways, medical research and development, universal/public education started by Thomas Jefferson, clean air, clean water, untainted meat/food in restaurants, border patrol...........all socialism. What do you mean socialism is “coming”? Socialism has been part of America since her founding. We are a mixed economy of Capitalism and socialism. Why are you trying to make “socialism” such a boogeyman word? Kinda alarmist and a bit childish isn’t it?

Dunno, can we ask the Venezuelans for comment?

By the way, I’ve noted from years on the internet, those with the weakest arguments reach for insults in their first response. Congrats on keeping with the prototype.

I think when people are saying “socialism” what they really mean is “centralized economy.” Sweden’s socialism worked pretty well for many years until they went full open borders globalism. I don’t have any examples of a country with a long term successful centralized economy but there are a number of failures.
