"Socialism" in context

This cartoon reveals some of the many things that are already provided by the American government, some of which are pretty effective.

This doesn't mean that putting the government in charge of any given thing is a good idea, or a bad idea -- just that it can be done and sometimes it works. This is useful to remember whether you are generally for or against government involvement, or for or against a particular program/issue/proposal. Know your context.

In fact, fire protection and police protection are fully socialized services. And while there are always problems, on the whole they work much better than the privatized versions did when they were tried.
Some things it's just in everybody's best interest for everyone to have access to when they need it.
