    If you mean you were using the historical definitions, a social safety net is not a means of production. Government-run factories or mines would be socialist, although some purists insist that it’s not socialist until there’s no private ownership left at all.

    If you mean you were using the popular definitions, sure, people like government services. Volt also likes government services.
