What socialism are you against though? Libraries? Police and firefighters? Roads? Public schools and universities? NHS-style healthcare? Canada-style healthcare? The Alaska Permanent Fund? The Bank of North Dakota? My local city-owned liquor store?

These institutions do not define socialism. It’s like pointing to the emblem of North Korea and saying that if you are against Juche you are against hydroelectric power.
