Quote:
socialist to describe when the government props up businesses,
When those businesses, or portions thereof, come under Gov't ownership or control (State ownership of Means Of Production), Socialism is the accurate term. Whether those businesses were "helped" or not, they have been brought under full or partial Gov't ownership and control, ergo Socialism. Perhaps not fully Socialized, but the term is accurate.
