I recently saw a good list of socialist accomplishments ...

...but I can't find it. Some examples were our interstate highway system, medicare, SS, etc. I would like to get the complete list for my friends who don't understand the meaning. Thanks.

3. the fire department is useful

local government is useful. We have our roads lit and they collect our waste. Libraries too.

A democratic socialist society is one that is mixed - local businesses and the government - working for the people.
