Social Security is a socialist policy.

As is Medicaid and Medicare.

As is SNAP and EBT.

I live in a country with socialist policies already called The United States of America.

But we could use lots more. So I'll stay here, and I'll try to make it that way.

Something that is a social policy does not imply that it is a socialist policy

Are you implying that US has socialist policy overall? In your country the term socialist is used as something negative lol. "Look at this loser he is a god damn socialist"
