Obama telling GM who to install as CEO was the definition of socialism.

Technically, I think that is fascism. Socialism would be the government taking over the company and running it.

Government central planners controlling producers is socialism, government owning means of production is communism.

Socialists have learned that taking over the company causes a problem when it fails and they’re the ones in charge. By installing their own Toadies in the private company and regulating it to death they can blame the private sector for the failure.
