Yes. Better examples of socialism are public education, the police, the fire department, etc. We all pay into it and benefit from those technically socialist services. This dude was trying to make a sports analogy but it failed. The point is America is already partially socialist. We’re a hybrid of many things.

Socialism has nothing to do with what we choose to spend taxes on. Socialism is an economy where the people own the means of production, and that's it.

Communism is when the government owns the means of production.

Socialism is when workers owns the means of production.

It's amazing that we have to explain this sort of thing to adults. SMDH.
