5. horrible term

it should be social democracy or so; socialism is when governemnt owns everything - way worse than capitalism and so this word should not be used in any context when it comes to elections.

I like the idea of non-profit private enteprise more than government. Very rarely do I encouter friendly DMV or postal office workers but always at UPS and Fedex. And mind you, USPS and DMV workers have actually better benefits and usually better incomes. For some reason our governemnt agencies don't cultivate and enforce customer service which is an easy thing to do.

It goes without saying that health and education industries should be non-profit. I wonder what would be the term for that?
