Socialists in Congress

Hmm Schools are govt owned and administrated.
So is our highway system.
Medicare/medicaid are systems produced and administered by our gummit.

I hope to God, that BLM is leasing land to private individuals, rather than giving it to them for free.

BLM lands are publically owned. They're owned by the citizens of the united states, who bought, paid for, and maintained them with our tax dollars.

Taxpayers are entitled to get a return on those lands, by leasing them rather than giving them away for free to private individuals.

That is besidfe the point , they are owned by the gummit with no plan to pay the individual citizens anything for the lease or sale of these properties.


Product. A thing produced, as by labor.

What about the socialized medicine in Canada, GB, etc... why is not our medicare and medicaid the same thing ?
Or is the rest of the world wrong using the term socialized medicine ?

Oh no. That's a common misconception. Most land was, yes, and all industrial infrastructure, but not "everything" in any real sense.

I stand corrected, but also stand by my statement about govt owned land , highways, schools, etc in The USA. The local school system just recently sold some property to a private individual and they did not pay me one cent, Imagine that!
 
Socialism is a large ideology and it is difficult to pigeonhole anyone into that category. However in general favoring significant government involvement in the control of a states economy is socialist.
 
control without ownership is not socialism....

government regulation and oversight of privately owned businesses does not constitute socialism...

any more than Osama is a fascist.
 
The bottom line; the United States Government was designed to serve and protect... therefore under that concept.. the Police and Fire Depts. fit. Its when Government is expanded with the types of services she provides, thats when the degrees of Socialism come into play and are debatable..
The more you use Government as a tool to expand services and programs into Society .. the more you are leaning towards a Socialism ...

Ah, but 'to protect and serve' is an ambigious term.

Serving the people could include social security, as could 'to protect'.
