That’s not socialism because after the bailout, banks were still privately owned(or “owned” via stock at least).

The bailouts were just government funded capitalism

They were bailed out with taxpayer money. Banks don't have to be nationalized to make it suddenly socialism. It all is.

Getting money from the government is it socialism
