Anarchist Profits And Socialized Losses

Explain to me how getting back some 5% of what you're owed, when they recovered 80% of it, is "socialized losses"?

Also explain to me how this is similar to 2008.

well for starters it was a joke not a serious argument.

Not entirely new. 2008? Profits to the banks losses (bail-oiuts) to the tax payer

I was trying to play off the phrase 'privatize profits and socialize losses' from that time period.
