Underlying all the lies and historical falsifications in Trump’s declaration are the fears of a ruling class that is terrified by the growing opposition to capitalism.

Even these dorks know that those subsidies do not constitute socialism. They know what bringing socialism to America would really mean; that’s why they fear it.
They are by design socialist constructs. How does the people paying for things to support the people mean its not socialism??
They’re not socialist constructs because we do not have a socialist government. They are capitalist instruments. Oil and farm subsidies, as well as all other forms of corporate subsidies, are used to enrich the businesses they are subsidizing, not the people who work for the businesses. Like when the chip firms got their kickbacks and used it for stock buybacks. Carbon credits are another example of a government subsidy that is used to prop up and enrich corporations while simultaneously not encouraging decarbonization efforts. The agriculture industry isn’t using those subsidies to pay workers a living wage. Most of those subsidies are in the form of crop insurance, and crop insurance isn’t even means tested. That’s how you end up with people like Bill Gates potentially getting crop insurance payouts from the government.
We live in a capitalist society; everything is for the capitalist; the government serves capital. That’s why these subsidies are not going away any time soon, and why it’s not “socialism”, It’s just capitalism.
