To be fair, social programs aren't Socialism.

I know people that work at an electric consumer cooperatives that are the same way. Nothing says capitalism more than communal ownership I guess. :/

Then, what are them? (Legit question)

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Social Programs are just functions of government, they don't necessarily have any direct ties to Mode of Production. There are examples of Socialist social programs, such as Single Payer Healthcare where everyone along the Healthcare chain is a government employee and the Healthcare industry as a whole is owned and run by the Workers via the state, but most single Payer Healthcare programs heavily involve privatized companies that are paid by the state.
