If you're a coal miner in 1850, your local community won't help much - they're all 'down on their luck'. Small is beautifull, but for them big was useful (socialism).

Regulation to mitigate risk isn't socialism. Socialism is Venezuela and its starving. Zimbawa and its perpetual hell. Cuba, SA etc... Even Europe with its socialism-lite has gone into a dark age. They no longer innovate. And much of the continent is becoming third world.
