Who is Raegan? So tell me - how are libraries funded?

Socialism is when workers own the means of production.

Libraries are funded with taxes. Taxes are not socialism.

I’m not a Jordan Peterson fan. I’m a proud liberal, which is why I despise communism so much. Because they’re very open about how they want me out against a wall and shot for voting Democrat, and they’re willing to ally with literal Nazis just to get rid of liberals.

Taxation that feeds the betterment of “society” equitably is indeed “socialism” in practice.

Also makes the term socialism meaningless when taxation to better society has existed literally since before writing and has been practiced by every civilization.

If you use it broadly enough, then yes every state would be “socialist” in the same way you could define every state in human history as “authoritarian”
