But I'm sure you can remember the last one you had where people complained about underfunded public services.

Its socially conscious government in a capitalist framework. Which is what Labour and other left of centre political orgs worldwide promote. You’ve started this whole thing by misusing ‘socialist’ and now complain that people are misusing ‘socialist’.
