America is federation of independent states each with the power to determine their own economy. Even considering the supremacy clause a state has the right and power to leave the federation. People also have the freedom to leave any state they feel doesnt meet their needs.
So while some states like CA NY and Wash increase their socialist policies other states see the results and do the opposite. Consequently people leave and move to states like FL NV TX and SC. The socialist states lose taxes, wealth creators, and skilled workers who transfer their assets to the Capitalist states. They are replaced by illegals, the homeless, criminals, and an assortment of non producing parasites who will drain the eroding tax base and drive more people out.
This freedom that comes with a federation makes each state an experiment. We can see the failure of socialism clearly. It fails economically culturally and morally.
So then no central government has the power to mandate socialist policies. They are effectively defeated in the courts and simply by people voting with their feet.
The medicine that defeats socialism is freedom.
