Don't really know what it means to call them SOCIALIST institutions. Socialism depends on socializing--spreading--the costs across the entire society so the entire society can enjoy the benefits, without being beholden to stock-holding interests (or anything that acts like that).
The PO is still largely run as a money-making enterprise in a capitalist economy. What is harder to get people to agree on is what is capitalism when it comes down to a bunch of cartels and privileged players paying for crony politics for their government handouts and rigged markets.
