Average american. Don't you know? Capitalism is when good and when not good, that's ~~communism~~ socialism.
Socialism is when the workers own the means of production, not when the government does stuff.
Socialism is when the government does stuff and the more it does the more socialist it is, and if you do enough of it, that's communism.

I make it intentionally hard to tell where I line up politically so people get punished for trying to find out if I'm on their side instead of just addressing the point i'm making.
