"In a 2020 interview, for example, Mackey described socialism as the "path of poverty."

"They talk about 'trickle-down wealth,' but socialism is trickle-up poverty," Mackey said. "It just impoverishes everything."

Capitalism, on the other hand, is "greatest thing humanity has ever created," according to Mackey.

"Capitalism is the greatest thing humanity's ever done. We've told a bad narrative, and we've let the enemies of business and the enemies of capitalism put out a narrative about us that's wrong, it's inaccurate — and it's doing tremendous damage to the minds of young people," Mackey said.

"The Marxists and socialists, the academic community is generally hostile to business. It always has been. This is not new," he explained."
