    A society that ensures a healthy vibrant life for all of it's members is better able to function than a society that leaves it all to chance and whoever is the most powerful.

    I define socialism as things an organized society does as a collective to ensure that every member of the society has all the basics to be a productive contributing member of that society.

    There is nothing about modern socialism which precludes capitalism.

    We can have a balanced mixture of both.

    The most successful nations on modern Earth currently all have a mixture of capitalism and socialism.

    Medicare
    Roads

    Not one of the above meets the definition of socialism. True they are social programs but maintained by capitalism.

    Ans: There is no one owner.
    Public Libraries aren't the only ones. Carnegie Libraries are privately funded and often better stocked than public ones

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._United_States

    That's just one example. Today, public libraries are largely a joke, stocked with mostly the latest tripe in reading and a place to use the internet anonymously.

    NASA is a continuation of the NACA which was simply an agency that collected research on aeronautics and made it available to private industry. We're beginning to see the privatization of space travel and that trend will continue. It is likely NASA will go back to being just a research repository and assistance agency to the aeronautical and space industry.

    Public Universities are hit and miss in quality.

    Medicare and Medicaid were and are a bad idea that skews the market for health care badly and causes it to be grossly overpriced.

    You do know many roads are privately built as part of development of land and then handed to the government by developers to gain tax breaks on their developments don't you? The Interstate highway system was developed for defense not for public use as its primary mission.

    Socialism does not exist. Some nations allocate their wealth differently than we do. They provide healthcare for their citizens and protect workers. We give our wealth to the top 10 percent via taxes cuts and breaks. We could be wiser and fairer.

    The truly funny thing about this thread is the fact that the marxists don't know what socialism is.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see
