You don’t think universal healthcare is socialist? Free higher education?
Again, I don’t care as much about the label, but when these things are suggested in America it’s socialist. When you point out anything good about the Nordics or just Europe generally the answer is they’re not socialist, and it’s not because of socialism. But we can’t do those things in America because it’s socialist.
Microcosms of Socialism, sure, participating in a broader Capitalist system.
Yes, there are AES countries. No country on Earth is 100% purely Socialist, not even Cuba or Chiapas, but there are several countries where the economy is majority owned and operated by the working class and the Capitalists are held not only accountable, but submissive to the state.
Those aren’t Socialism though, lol

No, they are not Socialist. They are wonderful social programs made easier in Socialism, of course, but they are not Socialist.
Socialism is a Mode of Production, not a government service.
Point taken.
In your opinion, are worker cooperatives operating in a market economy socialist?
And do you consider any countries today socialist?
