Agree with most above, buy wouldn't include police and military as socialism. They're more the authoritarian axis, and even capitalist extremists, like Ayn Rand, kept a justice system and National defence. The VA hospitals, though ... 100% socialized.

@bennyrodriguez8788 No. Cops and the military are the authoritarian axis, not the economic axis. Simply having a government the public pays for, doesn't equate to socialism, and even right wing extremists keep the police and military to protect that government and their legal rights.

@fisher5759 Denmark is a centrist country. Name the Democrat policies that would move the US left of Denmark, let alone move it to full blown Marxism or communism.

@fisher5759 So, no such thing as anarchism, no such thing as democratic socialism, etc. Wow, you are so stupid. That's just a fact.

@jimbo4612 The American Revolution came about when colonialists didn't want to pay a tax that was specifically to fund the police/military. They protested, rioted, tarred and feathered, destroyed private property, but the authorities just got more heavy handed. One of the last straws, was when those police/military, "fearing for their lives", shot violent protesters.

@angusdog22 Well, you can argue that people providing a service are producing labour itself. And, if that service has nothing to do with the authoritarian axis, that only leaves the economic axis.
