Faux choice.
Socialism (government ownership of major industries) is for fools.
But only fools think that government shouldn't regulate capitalism and help provide essential public services (public education, health insurance, roads, parks...)

It is high time for the United States to provide an essential public service that is available in every other leading CAPITALIST country: universal health insurance.
Calling regulation of business, Social Security, public education or universal health insurance “socialism” or “democratic socialism” is a stunt worthy only of @FoxNews.
These are ways government can make CAPITALISM more effective, secure and fair and increase the public welfare.
It’s amazing that the right gets away with describing basic regulation and services as “socialism” and even more amazing that the left facilitates this by talking of “socialism” when we don’t yet have the basic regulations and services (including health insurance) that we need.
