In America today we have the best and worst of socialism. The public schools and state universities, the fire department, the public highway systems, are all examples of good socialism.
What is not good when it comes to socialism? Corporate bailouts like saving the banks in ’08 after the financial crash after they almost destroyed the world economy, billions for the oil and Fossil fuel industries, billions for the giant agribusiness corporations that are growing poison foods for our kids, the corruption of or health care systems for profit and not just to take care of people, by the insurance industries, tax shelters and subsidies for hedge funds and private equity firms that produce no tangible products but do loot vast cash flows from the productive economy; are prime examples of the worst of socialism and exploit America like imperialism exploits people in foreign nations, and show some of the worst kinds of socialism benefiting corrupt corporations. This is to say nothing about the corrupting influence of the giant monopolies on the nation and the world.
