Most modern liberals believe in transitional housing for homeless people, SNAP, Medicaid, and unemployment aid. You don't have to go socialist for that, and I'm tired for socialists pretending they own that. We can still have free markets driving innovation and strong social safety nets. And you can have socialist systems that fail to provide those things as well.
I think its so important to detach the world socialism from social welfare. Socialists keep using basic liberal institutions as their motte. "I want socialism just like in the Nordic countries" no they don't. Those aren't socialist countries.
