    We'd all have to wear Joe Higgins masks and drive the JoeMobile!

    Well, how much red paint are you talking of mixing into the green? Different shades of red, how socialist do you mean? Universal health insurance would be cool, but I wouldn't like to have to work for the state

    It would be like Cuba but with a really crappy health service.

    It would feature nationlised banks, expensive infrastucture projects that suffer cost over-runs, a public sector which is self-serving and inefficient and - ah, see what I did there? ;)

    I'm going to be kindly, and move this to AH. Threads in the Politics forum require something more of an opening post than "would it be cool?". If the thread ever grows up it can come back.

    moderately,

    Are you for real?

    We'd have a better healthcare system, like Cuba, we would actually consider peoples rights above the right of corporate interests and we would have police force that works with the community rather than bullying it.

    A true socialist government wouldn't. And besides, Secret Police were not invented by anyone claiming to be a socialist.

    Socialisms, Totalitarianisms, Orgasms

    It's all just words.

    At the end of the day we're sheeple being led to slaughter

    I would move this to politics but it seems that they don't want this thread.
