We have plenty of socialism in this country. And every other country. There's nothing wrong with it. Unless it's run inefficiency like FEMA under Bush.

At least we can trust our government more than cut-throat corporations, so long as we have responsible leaders who care about people. But our current leaders don't.

The amount of corporate corruption we have now should warn everyone of us never to tolerate too much privatization. It's more expensive and less efficient, at least most of the time. Like Halliburton over-charging us in Iraq for things the Army used to take care of cheaply. Halliburton exmployees who gets 150K a year for working in Iraq replace Army personnel who would get 25 K. It's highway robbery.

In socialst countries there is still primarily private property. The government owns or runs some aspects which are perceived to be a requirement for the country as a whole. Frequently these are transportation and health care, and sometimes natural resources.

In communism the government as a whole owns all property.
