There are several major variations on socialism, so I guess it depends on the kind and degree you espouse.

I think Social Security, the Interstate Highway System, good infrastructure and partly-socialized medicine would be good ideas to preserve and maintain.

I think the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was a failure years before Gorbachev decided to cut and run.

There's always a balance between the obligations and freedoms that the individual's energy can be directed toward. INsanity lies in both extremes, I guess.
