That should have been clear already when there were the stimulus checks. Type of socialist activity that wouldn't fly in many of the so called socialist countries...

A few tax refunds in a national crisis is not socialism. It would have been socialism if the US government nationalized failing companies (instead of giving trillions in handouts), and transferred ownership of those to the people in some form.

I sold my time to a company owned by capitalists. The money I made was taxed by the government. The government then realized I needed some of that money back and they gave it to me in a stimulus check. I still work at a company owned by capitalists.

The above (true) story happened under a capitalist system, and has nothing at all to do with socialism.
