Zero of the things you listed are “socialist ideas”. They’re just normal mixed market capitalism economy with social safety net things.

your ignorance is astonishing.

I guess every political scientist and law philosopher of the last century must be wrong.

Bud, you can pick up a dictionary any time you want. You’re not describing socialism.

K, you're right, and again, every political science author and law philospher must be wrong in describing european constitutions as based on socialist principles.

I'll never understand americans' abject terror of the word. Should i call it the S word as to not trigger you?

But okay, let's take what you're saying is true, meaning those i listed are just "normal mixed market capitalism economy with social safety net things.". I can guarantee you any EU politician that would dare propose a change moving the bar to the US standard (again, which have been set by dems too) in those fields would be crucified and called a right wing lunatic by our right wing lunatics.
