Communist - Plain and Simple

Government ownership of private business.

Government telling private business and citizens what wages they may receive.

And now, the President determining which news outlets will be "allowed" to interview or be present for press conferences with government officials. THIS IS COMMUNISM.

The sad thing is, the citizenry is so ill informed, or uneducated on history, that our President does not even have to hide his agenda.

The Constitution has become a distraction to him and his Congress. His oath is a fraud.

Actually, what you described would better be identified as some form of "statism," "state socialism," or "state capitalism." Most Marxist-derived philosophies claim that a socialist utopia can only occur after the collapse of traditional forms of government, and that capitalism is a necessary precursor to more "advanced" stages of socioeconomic organization.

Of course, as we have seen, there has yet to be a successful state that claims to be "communist" that did not devolve into leader-worship, totalitarianism, and/or the production of really tacky footwear.
