Socialism
Our road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.
True, but they also mixed into comunism
Fucking commie! /s
You know socialists want to take away everything you own and install a dictatorship right? /s
The ironic part is that actual socialism is actually pretty popular. It's the violent revolution and ensuing dictatorship which turns most people off to the Marxist Leninist ideals, which takes up most of the oxygen in that room these days.
The ensuring dictatorship isn't socialism nor communism. You can dream of something and ending with something else.
