Socialist democracies are cool. Think Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, etc
Socialist authoritarian states like China, the USSR, etc. those are not cool.
The problem isn’t having social safety nets and collective control of shared critical resources like transit and healthcare. The problem is when you don’t let people vote for their own best interests.
They are not socialist. They are "Social Democratic", capitalism, but the workers get a bigger share. The parasites known as Capitalists, or Burg... fucking french... Bourgeoisie, are still a thing. The workers do not own the tools.
