We are simply product, raw numbers to be shaped by the factory worker (bureaucrat) to keep the machinery of the state itself running. Plug some in here. Shape others there. One is like another, and our individual needs, desires and wants are immaterial and there is no latitude for us to try to pursue those on our own.

In the US? It's mostly Pavlov, caused by McCarthy.
Socialism is nothing else than the idea that humans should be treated with dignity, should have the same rights and should help each other. Nothing wrong with that.
The wrong comes from perverts that turn it into a dogma. And then take away your dignity, reduce your rights and refuse to help you, all in the name of "socialism". That's not socialism - that's terror.

Even in country who only has socialist system in certain sectors, it is sometimes illegal to seek outside those sectors.
Could you provide an example?
Under federal law, private clinics are not legally allowed to provide services covered by the Canada Health Act. Regardless of this legal issue, many do offer such services.
The advantage of private clinics is that they typically offer services with reduced wait times compared to the public health care system. For example, obtaining an MRI scan in a hospital could require a waiting period of months, whereas it could be obtained much faster in a private clinic.
Private clinics are a subject of controversy, as some feel that their existence unbalances the health care system and favors treatments to those with higher incomes.
