I didn't know the Republicans loved socialism so much!

They've been nationalizing stuff like Fidel Castro on a Don Quixote kick...

As far as my non-economist pea-brain can comprehend, the difference is something like this: under socialism the state takes over companies that are profitable, while under capitalism we get to take over firms that are failing. Lucky us.
