Socialism a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

Road maintenance and fire protection could certainly be privatized. Police fall under the executive branch of the government, law enforcement, police protection is not socialism. Social Security is a legal ponzi scheme administered rather poorly by the government and we should dump it.
