There are good and bad types of socialism. There are a range of outcomes. In the limit, you can have this (which would be bad for our slow readers):I see what you are saying, but the entire American West is the top down overhaul of a desert ecosystem under near unlimited federal power. The Newlands Act and the Bureau of Reclamation it created are as close to socialism as this country has ever come. In fact, it is just straight socialism. And the west today would not exist without it. Every single politician from the west, Democrat or Republican, has fought tooth and nail to defend it, because without it there is no American West. There's just a big, mostly empty desert. It is the height of irrationality, it was bound to come down sometime, and guess what? We are alive in that time.
