Entire continents using socialism? successfully? IS that why they have to join unions to even compete with american capitalism?
for starters Mexico is number ten in the world in happiness. With high cartel violence and a corrupt government Mexico is ahead of America in happiness. What does that say about the effectiveness of that study?
I would love to hear how science and math education are problems not associated with socialism. Are our schools not free? Lets guess... it's because their not getting enough money right?

Low homicide ratios can be largely attributed to less poverty. The welfare state creates poverty
Lets go through your list now
Antitrust laws- A necessary function of the government. If you want to call that socialism then whatever. You want to call anything the central government a socialist function
Social Security-Social Security was created back in the 1930s, during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the shrewdest politicians who ever sat in the White House.
President Roosevelt understood that, if you could convince people that they were entitled to a pension under Social Security, it could become politically impossible to ever put an end to that system.
The pensions promised exceeded what could actually be paid from the money that was put in by the recipients. But the first generation to enter Social Security would have their pensions paid by money received from the second generation, as well as its own money. The second generation would be paid with money that included what was paid in by the third generation, and so on.
This is the principle behind a “pyramid” scheme, in which the first investors can get a big return on their money by simply paying them money received from subsequent investors. But it is only a matter of time before reality catches up with us, since the pyramid scheme is not actually investing any money or saving any money.
That is why a private insurance company that sold annuities based on a pyramid scheme would be prosecuted for fraud, and its officials put in prison. But you can’t put Congress in prison, even when that is what it deserves.
What's so complicated about that? You don't get any more out than you pay in. Yet liberals ****ed it up

National holidays- Holiday's are cultural. The Superbowl isn't a national holiday yet it's massive. St Patrick's day is and it's not.
