In America, socialism is something you only get once you become a powerful enough capitalist enterprise. The state produces the means of production and then just hands it over to you while you collect profits. Another great example of this is the thousands of miles of dark fiber optic cable buried in the US that ISPs refuse to connect at the "last mile." Why spend a bunch of money giving everybody fiber when they're already paying you a kidney every month for shitty rural DSL?
