What Americans call socialism the rest of us would call mild social democracy.

Edit: But in recent years it's been gaining traction. Some might argue long overdue, or at least it's going to more average levels for world standards (and yes that includes the third world before someone points out me being a European).

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

You're going to need a more expansive OP or it will be locked by the mods.

The extent of most people's opinion of socialism here is "gubmint bad", but cheer on the military industrial complex and worship Wall Street.

Oh we use a version of it. We privatize the earnings and socialize the losses.

Imagine if the Hurricania Imperium and Tornado Queendom merged with the British Empire and a Sino-Soviet Union, and the CSA. Oh, and they really like Pink Floyd.

Actually a favored method of Republicans in general.

Still the demos do it too.
