Paid sick-days will be socialism.

28 vacation-days per year will be socialism.

1 year of protected pregnancy-leave from work will be socialism.

Passing workers-rights laws for the gig-economy will be socialism.

Preventing corporations from selling private and personal information of their employees will be socialism.
