Your post is based on completely false assumptions. I have posted many times saying socialism is the government ownership of the means of production and distribution. I said both the left and the right use the term to apply to social welfare programs which are not necessarily related.
Medicare and Medicaid are both privately run programs paid largely by government funds. I never claimed it was socialism. I agree people need to stop changing the definition. Having socialism does not usually mean equality, universal healthcare and college, less income inequality, or worker run businesses. The most socialist nations (Cuba, China, North Korea, the former Soviet Union) had few of these characteristics but had large-scale government ownership of major industries.
Nothing I said is contrary to the government paying for the roads (although federal and state gasoline taxes paid for most of it rather than federal income taxes). In your 1950's utopia for the American middle class they did not have Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Earned Income Tax Credit, college loans and grants, poverty programs, etc. Maybe that extra money paid for the roads and bridges.

This economy has had socialist elements as it should for a century or more.
That's what mixed market economy means. Some industries are more efficiently run as a monopoly.
Tards cannot be suggesting such utilities should be wholly unregulated, are they?
So the argument is not socialism versus capitalism. That's reductionist and stupid.
The question is what industries are more efficiently operated with a well regulated monopoly, or government
administered, and which industries are more efficient with more unfettered capitalism. Those questions
beg for extremely specific and fact based answers.
No tards are capable of engaging in the required analysis, as for example explaining why healthcare
in our system does not serve millions, has worse outcomes and costs way more.

Those four (4) who favor Socialism should head on down to Venezuela...bring food...and batteries.
