Turns out, socialism ain't that bad eh?
That's not true. You're thinking of social programs. Socialism is when workers own the means of production.
If this was socialism, America would have already done a military coup in Denver.
in the US you could call anything socialism and people would automatically hate it
That isnt socialism, the proletariat doesn't control the means of production.
I think you are confusing socialism with communism.
Are you in a political organization that is explicitly socialist? Have you read any literature by any notable socialist author?
I know the answer to both is no. Because I know you're confusing yourself as someone who is informed about what socialism and communism are.
It's not like it's that expensive to determine who's homeless because they don't have money. Solving homelessness isn't a single golden bullet.
99.999999999% of the homeless are homeless because they don't have enough money.
Depends where you are.
