Socialism

I hear this strange noise, saying it is bad to nationalize banks that it is socialism. Huh? The first banks in America were not private ventures they were National banks, the Federal reserve is a Government bank, and this is bad? Then Corporation's which are by their own definition supposed to be a person as far as their treatment and yet we can't draft them or put them in jail? Today more then ever we need to realize that the reality of or world means that we can not just scream socialism and it is bad. If you look at capitalism and socialism as a political entity you will see that capitalism is really anarchy that the system will sort it self out and that the poor will eat the rich and become rich in a cycle while Socialism is the belief that things need to be done for the greater good. Now here is a list is it a socialist idea or a capitalist idea?
Medicare
Paying for energy production
public schools
Military
Farm subsidies
Research grants
Voting

Now the answers.
Medicare- Socialist providing for the greater good.
Paying for energy production - Socialist you are still helping the greater good.
Public Schools- Socialist, Capitalism says if you want your kid educated you pay for it
Military - Socialist, Capitalism says if you want protection you are on your own.
Farm subsidies - Socialist, this is the best example of the socialism helping it's roots.
Research grants- socialist, still for the greater good.
Voting - Socialist, capitalism says money speaks for you.

So in the end we are a socialist state in a lot of ways already, so what is wrong with the government taking control of one bank to help fix it for the greater good? Answer capitalism like anarchist are circling desperate to see there chance to get richer.
