The US government now holds equity stakes in 30 private companies, up from zero just over a year ago. In some cases, it's the largest shareholder. This raises massive questions about capital misallocation, government neutrality, and cronyism, says Cato's Scott Lincicome on MS NOW.

The GOP have always been lying liars who lie about everything. They've never meant anything they've ever said about small government, local control, free markets, foreign policy, family values, protecting women & children, merit, freedom.... #MakeHypocrisyBadAgain #MakeLyingBadAgain

No, I'm pretty sure it's closer to socialism. Communism is stateless and classless. These chodes are elitist and have no intention of relinquishing their private property.

This is true, but as there isn't a MAGA alive who could accurately define communism yet they have appropriated the word. In Americanish it now means something I don't like. Persimmons are communist as is SEC football.

Marx describes the “pure” form of it as stateless, but in historical practice it hasn’t been. It typically is born out of the most centralized and powerful states in human history. The US government is taking ownership of these companies, it’s not WE the people seizing them.
