How much socialism do you partake of in your daily life?
So many nice things happening out there, it hardly even seems true.

Use of the police, library, and education system provided free of capital charges.
Yep, you may be a socialist and afraid to admit it? Are you?

That whole insurance thing is socialism. You pay in and as long as you don't need it, you don't take any out. But if you need it, you can get back far more than you ever put in because insurance is socialism with a capitalist angle.
The best insurance is that provided by the government. Yes, that democratic socialist government that provides flood insurance, police and fire departments and all the provisions for the general welfare of the people.
Yep, we're all living in a socialist submarine.
