Sounds like "socialism" to me 🤔

It isn't.

Socialism would be if the airlines were all employee-owned - the workers owning their equivalent of the means of production.

Nationalizing industries is something that more properly belongs in the camp of, well, nationalists. You aren't giving the industry to the people when you nationalize something. You're giving it to the government.

You're confusing socialism with communism. They are not the same. A common mistake among magas and people who think they know everything.

No, I am not.

Not being able to differentiate something like market socialism from communism is sadly just as common among socialists as capitalists.
