And what is socialism if not a humanistic application of capitalism? Narrow-minded people use labels as a substitute for rigorous thought.
Socialism is defined as the means of production being under government supervision and control instead of the free market. Per Websters, there is no private property and the means of production are owned and controlled by the state.
The alleged distinction with fascism is that under fascism the government controls, but the companies have more of a hand in running their shows.
Obama (despite protestations to the contrary) thinks it’s cool for the government to run car companies and whatever else he might get his hands on, a government that can’t even run itself.
