Americans often confuse socialsim for handing out money freely and letting people commit crimes without going to jail, both the left and right, so its this wierd catch 22 going on or something

Looking at the administration, the feudal internet lords and other megacorps, the US is deeply socialist then.

But, see, there is a fundamental difference.

We prefer to let capital (and its representatives) commit the juiciest crimes...

So US is the most socialist country by far. Both rich and poor commit crimes without going to jail

I live in Spain and that’s what socialism means basically. At least here.
"handing out money freely and letting people commit crimes without going to jail"

Sounds pretty much like Trump and the modern GOP
