Couldn't it be argued that America used to be a socialist state but only recently started going the other way?

Cities used to own the water. Trash was usually picked up by government employees. Energy was regulated and the companies in the biz were only allowed to make so much profit. Jails were owned and ran by the government, it wasn't for-profit operation where you have to feed the beast with more arrests, etc...

You know, back in the days when America was prosperous and most people were happy.

We need to get back to socialism, right?
