Funny, when Europe does this, it’s called “socialism”.
Can you imagine the screams of, “COMMUNISM!!!!” If Obama or Biden had done this. It’s all we would hear about for an entire election cycle. Fox “News” would play it nonstop.
Yes, but it's not socialism we're seeing. It's fascism. Fascism also has state control of private industry. For a different purpose.
And when China and Arab states do it, it's something to aspire.
Yes and no. In this context, it’s more of a shakedown-sorta thing.
