Of course he's acting. You think any of them really believe a word coming out of their mouths? They want Soycialism because they think they're going to be commissar. When Mises said "Every socialist is a disguised dictator", he wasn't being facetious.
Colbert is the equivalent of that guy from V for Vendetta, the late night TV guy - except, he's the left's version. And the modern American left version is someone who cries on TV because he knows half his audience is crying - then he goes off TV and enjoys his money and whatever power he has.

There’s another group of socialists. Lazy people who want things for free.
True socialists don't feel emotions.
But I think Colbert probably has a few feeling dials left on his NPC progressive control board. Probably not on air tho.
