Line 18:
Line 18: − Many Americans and conservatives often overlook the benefits that socialism can bestow to a country and even their criticism (see above) are often ridiculously moronic, failing to grasp what socialism is about: maintaining the benefits and incentives from a capitalist state while introducing aspects of socialism to provide a fair and workable state for the workers. 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 democratic view, needed to be under State control after exploitation of workers by the capitalist benefactors. By nationalising health care, they ensured that the health of the nation was protected for all rather than just the rich as at the time many citizens could not afford health care and only did so in an emergency. Subsequently, the introduction of the NHS 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.+

British socialism alleges to maintain benefits and incentives from a free economy while promoting reforms intended to provide better working and living conditions for workers. The British government of 1945-1951 under Clement Atlee were stringent socialists who implemented the "nationalisation" of several industries. Nationalising the health care industry made it more accesible to all in theory, however the system has been plagued by long waiting lists and lack of modernization and improvements. Subsequently, the introduction of the NHS led to a sharp rise in life expectancy and a dramatic fall in infant deaths.{{fact}} As a result of these socialist elements, they maintained a healthy mixed economy, ensuring that the economy grew substantially {{fact}} while supporting through the welfare state to protect the poor.
