re: health insurance, personally I'd favor a situation like in France or Sweden, where private insurance exists but it's rare because the public option is so good. And I would define that as closer to socialism than our system, on a sliding scale

Bernie isn't my preferred presidential candidate. but the idea that this country will overcorrect in the direction of socialism worries me a lot less than the idea that we will undercorrect, or move even farther away

I think our disagreement is this: You see "socialism" as a totalizing ideology. I see it as a tool in the toolkit of all governments, one that most other democracies make much better use of than ours.
