Let's say the government employed 1 person, total, and every single private employer moved out, creating a situation of 100% government employment.
Would you still phrase it as "the government created a socialist state"?
Whipping out the word 'socialism', in the American political discourse, typically turns it into a silly red vs blue conversation.
