Not the government. The government can be fucking anything and it (or the people controlling it) profiting from owning a company isn't socialism by itself. It's fine and all to talk about a worker's government but is that what you would call a Trump presidency? The American government at any point in its history? Will literally ONE FUCKING DOLLAR of Intel profit go to a worker from this? They're cutting social services and expanding the power of the surveillance state. Just think for one goddamn second about function instead of form, I'm begging you people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pneumaticFax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Could call it national socialism. permalink fedilink source parent
