  2. "Many of the tangible examples of socialism (and Marxism) that one might experience today pass by in such a way that we do not readily identify them as being socialist. If your country has any of the following, you've experienced socialism to some degree:

    Government-provided support for the young, elderly, and disabled, such as Social Security in the United States
    Universal healthcare
    Free education
    Subsidies on housing or utilities
    Public libraries
    Public roads and highways
    Emergency services like police and the fire department
    Government-provided support for the impoverished, like the food stamps program in the United States"
