I said it's communism, not socialism:

1. income equality (stimulus checks)

2. state dictatorship to enforce "equality"

2a. zero individual freedom

2b. zero small business ownership. The only businesses allowed are mega-corporations like apple and amazon, both of which are spy organizations for the government anyway. In other words, they are branches of the government masquerading as private enterprise.

3. maximum surveillance of the populace (big brother): google, android, IOS, smartphones, Alexa.

4. banning of religion. No church services.

In effect, everything is under governmental control now. That's what they want: more power. Less for you, more for them.

This will end with the state monopolizing control over politics and the economy (and culture and religion). Anyone who is not a part of the state apparatus will be left with nothing but subsistence rations:

1. micro-house or apartment

2. food and other essentials state rationed

3. basic health care

4. media access to state propaganda

After the implementation of communist dictatorship, things will get worse, much worse. Look to Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao and Pol Pot in recent history for examples of how communist governments treat their citizens.
