Social programs are not socialism.

[–] StonksDiff13@lemmy.today -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No, but it's a good way to curb capitalism's negative impacts. The US postal service is great scale. Medicare is another. Taxing the rich and expanding social programs is the correct way to evolve capitalism. Proven by how Reagan and Bush (sr and jr) and Trump have tried to disrupt successful programs with the intent of privatizing.

Social programs are good, sure, but socialism is still necessary and the countries you posit are good all rely on imperialism
