restricting supply to drive up prices is socialist????

  When it's done through a coercive act of government, yes.

    ok, yeah, I think I read that chapter in Das Capital about how to increase your capital by using government to restrict supply.

      You can be as sarcastic as you like, but Marx isn't the only one who gets to define socialism. Coercive government action can rightly be lumped in with socialism. It does not mean that only socialist take coercive government action, but it does not disqualify socialism from this type of activity.
