"Socialism is when the government does stuff ๐Ÿ˜ญ" - Average American, unfortunately

Nah seriously this is what they legit believe, they just think the government doing it means it's going to be shitty. Which is not entirely untrue. But at least it's not trying to actively rip you off while continuing to offer less and less, like any publicly traded company has a good track record of doing.
