>Socialism creates another bunch of perverse incentives

And capitalism creates other perverse incentives, such as middlemen all trying to get their cut of various fees, charging rents, building competitive moats, obfuscating the paperwork so you can't even figure out what basic services cost in advance... kind of like the health care system currently in the U.S.

Capitalism is good at innovation and at providing additional value but basic needs like food, shelter and healthcare are predictable enough that those needs can be met through the government providing a baseline of services.
