Also not a socialist policy, but a policy I am not largely in favor of. There ought to be policies in place to increase access to tuition, but just a generic "free college tuition" thing is stupid. Policies geared to educating the work force, whether it be through trade schools, business schools, or liberal arts education are a good thing and help foster a more democratic society, but there hasn't been any good policies, IMHO.
All of that being said, this is also not a great example of what you are talking about. Not only is it not a socialist policy, it is also favored by a majority. A poll done last year found that about 63% of Americans overall supported the policy, including a slim majority of Republicans and 50% of self-identified Tea Party types.
