Excuse me if the question in the title is a too big simplification, but I suppose the pattern exists.

    I would think generally it holds true. Most ‘progressives’ agree that social services like healthcare, childcare, welfare, etc. are a good thing and should be supported/funded as much as possible. These are all collective arrangements achieved through some sort of governing system (taxes, etc.); however, I think that’s mostly as far as the general agreement usually goes. As soon as you get into collective food distribution on the same level as healthcare, it gets a bit thorny. Same goes for nationalizing any industry tbh (gasoline, telecom, mail).
