almost all of that was built on government subsidies, socialism

Socialism is when the government does stuff, the more it does the more socialist it is, and when it does a whole Lotta stuff, its COMMUNISM

yeah, that misunderstands socialism for new deal era policies, which were inspired by socialism but are not actual socialism. i think he has a point though, we are being overworked and underpaid and can't pursue our passions anymore.

It's socialism and it is very much ok when it's for a corporation/bank/billionaire bailout/handout, and "OH THE COMMUNISM AND SKY IS FALLING AND WE ARE DOOMED AND LIFE IS ABOUT TO End" when it's something that helps people.
