Public goods available to all are socialist, which makes them very bad.
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/27/palin-shares-wealth/
Just last month, in an interview with Philip Gourevitch of the New Yorker, Palin explained the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans share in the wealth generated by oil companies:
And Alaskawere set up, unlike other states in the union, where its collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.
Its to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans
Isnt that special? Karl the Marxist might have said exactly that, supposing that he had written in schizophrenic word salad instead of academic German.

Palinese
A hard-to-decipher language that originated in Wasilla, Alaska. Believed to have first been spoken and heard in the 21st Century, it is characterized by use of moronic oversimplified phrases such as "Russia's in my backyard," "gotcha journalism," "death panels," "lame stream media," and "you betcha."
Estimated global population known to speak the language: 1 person(s)
If the former Governor of Alaska decides to run for President in 2012, we'll all need some type of interpreter during the debates 'cause no one else on earth understands Palinese.
