"Lower cost of goods and services help everyone."

That's nice, but the reason there are so many "socialist" tendencies is there are so many authoritarian, nigh even fascist tendencies emerging. Companies are and have been increasing the cost of those goods and services, regardless of what inflation has been doing, _and not decreasing the prices afterwards_.

Lower cost of goods and services is a "conservative" fever dream - utter buck nonsense.

"Countries that meddle with the economy to keep incomes high end up having lower quality of life."

A corrupt person in a boardroom is the same as a corrupt person in political power - nobody benefits. Socialism at least demands those in positions of otherwise un-earned power are held accountable.
