Heck government and government intervention of almost any kind is in
disrepute "in the public mind" isnt it? In the US at least.
Except for wars on terrorism that is.

Actually it is not socialist planned economies which have total
disrepute in the popular mind. It is socialism - period. So by  your
logic, it "only makes sense" to support some form of more progressive
capitalism, and forget about socialism. No I'm joining the chorus
accusing you of being non-socialist - simply pointing out that you just
agreed to some very bad logic...
