i love all kinds of socialist shit:

socialized medicine

socialized housing

socialized transportation

you know what kinda' socialism SUCKS though? Socialized risk, where corporations get to distribute their burdens but hoard all their profits.

THAT kind of socialism needs to fucking die.

Socialized risk would be fine if the profits were also.

Socialized anything is not socialism either. It's just social policies.

A socialized economy would pretty much result in everything else being socialized.
