    The question here is “What Counts as Socialism?” Because for most Americans, a functioning society already counts as Socialism. No need to be afraid that your kid gets shot in school? Non-ruinous healthcare for everyone? No need to work at 80 just to survive and pay your rent? Workers rights?

    For many Americans this is Socialism or Communism (the same people could not be pressed to tell the difference between those terms).
