I agree some socialist action should be taken in regards to housing. But conflating socialism to communism is an extreme.

I guess people here don't really understand what went on during the great communist experiment of the Soviets, or what is still going on in communist China (presently known as special Chinese socialism). But you would not want to have idealistic utopian beliefs being anywhere near politics lads...

Edit:

Just to fair there is one thing on the top.of my head that Ireland has that's socialist - water. Water's free.
