In a certain way, isn't it a useful device to say to an average liberal or conservative that roads, schools, fire departments, sewers etc. are a form of socialism to try to convince them that socialism is good? I thought that it would be a good argument, but I'm still pretty ignorant about this stuff.

As an icebreaker? Sure, I don't see why not.

But worker ownership of the means of production and economic democracy is so far removed from that that drawing a line between the two may be a challenge.
