Wait ... socialism is actually “capitalist” now? Does that make it good or
bad?

There's always been socialism in the market economy working much like the capitalists. Consider Credit Unions, socialist companies owned by their members competing against capitalist banks. Various types of Co-op's too.
It's always funny people like D who don't seem to have anything but propaganda to inform them that socialism equals big government.

You have no clue about what sociaism or capitalism is. Credit unions are definitely not socialism and neither is a company owned by employees. In fact, what makes those two forms possible, is private property rights and capitalism. Nowhere does capitalism state that there can be only one individual owner.
