Your hero stole over $2 billion equivalent USD from the people. I understand why you say such.

"When I grow up I'll steal billions and call it socialism."

Awesome scam. Puts "crony" capitalism to shame.

That makes me wonder. When capitalism doesn't work for them, it becomes crony. Why don't I hear such a thing about socialism? Because whenever it's done, in: Russia, Cuba, China, North Korea and many others, it has been a success?

Btw, what you folks call crony capitalism is when socialism gets involved. Why don't you call it by its true name, "capitalist socialism?"
The USA had serious crony capitalism issues 100 years ago without a lick of socialism in the mix. Remember TR's Trust Busters? cn

How do corporations exist without government interference, ie socialism? Corporations themselves are a socialist construct.

Because the US govt says so? Haha... You aren't too bright, are you?
How does a single person "own" $2 billion in a socialist system? That doesn't sound very socialist to me.

You're the one calling me not "too bright," yet I know Latin ain't English, El Comandante.

I forgot government intervention was another name for free market. Fuck I'm an idiot.
despite my attempts to be kindler and gentler, yes, you are an idiot.

government intervention is not equivalent to socialism.
