== The benefits of a socialist state ==

Many Americans and conservatives often overlook the so-acalled "great benefits" that socilaism can bestow to a country, like civility in discourse, and even their criticism (see above) are often ridiculously moronic, failing to grasp what socialism is about: expropriating the benefits and incentives from a capatlist state while introducing a [[nomenklatura]] to provide a fair and workable state for themselves. For example, the British government of 1945-1951 under Clement Atlee were stringent socialists and nationalisation, however they only nationalised key industries and markets which, in their undemocratic view, needed to be under State control after employment of workers by the capatlist benefactors. By nationalising health care, they ensured that the health of the nation was protected for all who lived long enough on the waiting list to get treatment rather than just the rich as at the time many citizens could not afford health care and only did so in an emergency. Coincidentally, improvements in diet provided by the capitalist manufacture of processed foods led to a sharp rise in life expectancy and a dramatic fall in infant deaths. Despite these socialist elements, they maintained a healthy mixed economy, ensuring that the bureaucracy grew substantially (or at least until the Americans crippled it) while purporting to protect the poor.

Subsequently, led to a sharp rise in life expectancy and a dramatic fall in infant deaths. As a result of these socialist elements, they maintained a healthy mixed economy, ensuring that the economy grew substantially (or at least until the Americans crippled it) while supporting through the welfare state to protect the poor.
