There’s a lot more than this too, things that I don’t support, like the criminal military shady police and intelligence... but my point is that EASILY MANIPULATED MINDS have been conditioned to hate things that encourage and support our communities and the common good - in favor of shallow selfishness and shiny coins, lol, weak bitches

It's not the services provided that's scary, it's the corrupt officials handling the money.

This is the problem with definition creep. Socialism is the government owning the means of production and operating those means without profit so that all the profit is dispersed equally to all the workers. At some point when stupid people started talking about politics that became any government run program is socialist. Making the claim that socialism under the first definition is good because socialism under the second definition is good is just not logical.
