37. The socialist spectrum

I dont care about black and white labels and definitions. RWers do that. Everything black and white. Either its socialist or American freedumb.
I prefer to think of it as a socialist spectrum.
0% socialism would be 100% libertarianism in which everything is privately owned and managed or privatized.
100% socialism would be where everything is govt owned and managed or socialized.
We are clearly between the 2 extremes. A mild kind of social democracy.
Wikipedia:
Social democracy is a political ideology that officially has as its goal the establishment of democratic socialism through reformist and gradualist methods.[1] Alternatively, social democracy is defined as a policy regime involving a universal welfare state and collective bargaining schemes within the framework of a capitalist economy. It is often used in this manner to refer to the social models and economic policies prominent in Western and Northern Europe during the later half of the 20th century.
