We've got social security, medicare, and in some states (like mine) even socialized liquor. (2) Control of markets when they get out of control is not a socialist idea-- it's a part of capitalism that the greed-mongers hope we ignore. As is basic morality. (3) Could capitalism use a bit more socialism? Absolutely-- not only in energy, but in medicine and several other areas as well.
