If the left had done this, they would have been attacked for "socialism." But since it's a right wing administration doing it, it becomes "national security industrial policy."

This isn't communism. It's state capitalism that socializes losses and privatizes profits.

It's bad communism and bad capitalism at the same time. I'd like to call this 'Napoleonism,' after the pig Napoleon in George Orwell's Animal Farm

How about "National Socialism"? Perhaps there's a historical precedent?
