What I respect about socialism, as someone who's not a Socialist in any form, I'm not a Marxist-Socialist or a Democratic Socialist and I'll explain those terms later( if you are still awake) but I'm not a Marxist- Socialist or a Democratic Socialist, but a Liberal but what I respect about socialism as an ideology and myself as a political junky, is its diversity. There are multiple forms of socialism, just like there are multiple forms of conservatism and libertarianism. 

See, with the more diversity in an ideology, the more creativity that it has and the less predictable it is. And the more ideas that can come into it. There are Marists-Socialists that believe that the State meaning the Central Government, in the United States case the Federal Government, that believe the State should own the means of production in society, meaning the economy. That there is no such thing as a private sector, because the State owns the economy and all the property. That there are no such thing as property rights because the State owns everything. 

North Korea or as I like to call them the Communist Republic of Korea, is the perfect example of a socialist state, because there's no such thing as a private sector in North Korea. 

But then there's social democracy which is very common in Europe and even Canada but perhaps to a smaller degree, that believe the country should have a capitalist economy, but that where the people are essentially highly subsidized. They believe in the welfare state, something that Marxist-Socialists believe in as well. 

But in most if not all social democracies there's  a large private sector where people have property rights. But that its highly taxed and regulated (by American standards) to finance a very large and generous again (by American Standards) welfare state. That provides health care, which isn't free, health insurance, which isn't free, pension, which isn't free, education, which isn't free, transportation which isn't free, and other state-owned human services. Provided by the Central Government that financed by high taxes by once again American Standards. 

Sweden is a perfect example of social democracy. A lot of Americans and American politicians, especially in Congress but in other places as well have been labeled as Socialists and there are also other people and American politicians who've been labeled as liberal but who are actually Democratic Socialists: the House so-called Progressive Caucus, Representative Dennis Kucinich from Ohio, Senator  Bernie Sanders. There's actually a political party in America called the Democratic Socialist Party, that I believe Senator Sanders is a member of. 

And as a Liberal I find this insulting because I have a lot of policy differences with Socialists. (Marxist or  democratic) Liberalism and socialism are two different ideology's. Democratic Socialists in America would essentially like to see America become like Sweden. Where the State provides the health insurance and health care, education, pension, and so on. 

So I'm not a fan of socialism except for the fact they believe in protecting workers rights and having a safety net that people can go to when they need it. But as a political junky I find it fascinating and wouldn't even mind seeing it grow in America to the point that the Democratic Socialists in the Democratic Party, leave my party and move to the Democratic Socialist Party.
