    Some other literal socialist institutions that are far left:

    • libraries
    • parks
    • postal service
    • public universities
    • museums
    • hospitals
    • healthcare
    • the military

    This isn’t a far-left policy. This is FDR Democrats.

      The postal service has been turned into a junk mail distribution system and there is nothing citizens can do to stop it. It’s infuriating.

      Oh and do not be fooled into paying $8 to $9 to companies claiming they can stop the junk mail, that’s a HUGE SCAM.

        The one thing you CAN do, and it’s FREE is to place a FREE freeze on your credit file with the following: Experian Equifax Transunion Chexsystems Lexisnexis

        These leeches are required by law to provide a free method to freeze access to your credit file. They don’t make it easy to find, and bury it under their paid “premium” offers, usually in a plain-text link at the bottom of the page.

        Once you do this, those pre-approved credit cards will stop cold. This will increase your credit score every month, as each one is a “soft inquiry” on your file, costing you thousands over time in higher interest rates, denied credit, and denied leases/rental. It also helps slow down identity theft.

        Do this for your kids’ social security numbers as well. Those are prime for theft.

      IMHO this makes more a case for socialism than it demonstrates that these things are not socialist.

        My issue is the classification of these particular items being far-left is a failure of what the far-left. Depending on what you consider socialism, this would be it or a conciliation to the ruling class.
