So, the military is condemned by the house, then? The US military is one of the biggest socialist organisations on the planet. It’s almost like these fucknuts don’t think before they speak.
This is my biggest argument for socialized healthcare. The military can do it for all the families and it’s pretty fucking good(servicemember healthcare is garbage). Most people walk away from a childbirth only spending a few hundred and only because the hospital cafeteria is criminal pricing.
That still doesn’t have anything to do with socialism. It’s a capitalist country giving perks and benefits in exchange for labor. That’s like saying that a private corporation with a health plan is socialist.
Even universal healthcare isn’t really socialist. There have been constitutional monarchies where the king instituted universal healthcare.
Socialism means that the workers are in control of the means of production. There are different interpretations of what form that should take, but nothing about a system where capitalists control the means of production and occasionally do nice things to their underlings to keep them loyal and productive has anything to do with any form if socialism.

Who controls the means of production for the military, is it the soldiers or the joint chiefs?
Why do Americans conflate socialism with social programs?
There is 0% of socialism in any military.
Socialism is the democratization of the workplace, that is all.
Single payer healthcare is not socialism
Building roads and infrastructure is not socialism.
Snap and ebt are not socialism.
The post office is not socialism.
Getting free stuff is not socialism.
Socialism is when workers control all means of production and decide what to do with what is produced.
There would be no capitalists in socialism because they would be illegal.

The military is not socialism. Socialism is not “when the government does stuff.” Ghenghis Khan was not a socialist.
I refer here to the tax-payer funded benefits service members and their families receive simply for being part of the military.
