    On what planet does “socialism” refer exclusively to worker-owned means of production? That’s communism. Nobody uses socialism that way unless they’re manipulating wording to fit an agenda.

      Socialism is a political philosophy and movement encompassing a wide range of economic and social systems which are characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

        I have to break it to you, but that just as well describes state-owned companies. It has nothing at all to do with worker ownership. Your own definition makes Roehm a socialist lmao
