We already have many socialist systems in the US. People like to just simplify it by saying we just have a capitalist system, we don’t. Things like fire/police departments, social security, public libraries, water utility, and roads are socialist. Capitalism can help innovate in some cases, but socialism is necessary to uphold necessities that benefit the public.
Socialism was never about government services. It was about the working class owning the means of production. Those things are only socialisim in so far as they are services that aren’t about making a specific guy very rich.
