An oxymoron that seems to depict very well what the OP sees as the current state of affairs. You might not agree with the assessment, different matter

No, I don't disagree with the analysis. I'm referring to the literal use of the term:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

"any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods "

I understand what the parent is trying to say and I agree with it, but "socialism only for the rich" is literally not socialism.
