    You didn’t read the article, or you didn’t understand it.

    The US Govt would not pay a cent for the shares of these companies.

    It would simply seize them, half-nationalize them.

    That… that is ‘socialism’, a form of it, that’s the government deciding that wealthy private equity/stock owners actually don’t own that stuff, because ‘we are the government and this is ours now.’

    This is… is a form of what the US has previously used the CIA to overthrow a number of other country’s governments for, when they did something like this.

        You clearly do not understand what socialism in practice actually means or has historically looked like, so no, no you do not understand the words you are using.

          socialism isn’t where a minority share of a single small sector of a single industry which is guaranteed to crash in the near future are socially owned, for fucks sake. you do not know better than me
