yea i get them confused myself. but socialism as far as i know is definitely not the govt owning the jobs. you can look up noam chomsky and see what he says, ive done it before.
capitalism and govt socialism youre talking about have lots in common which is why they both fail miserably.
Capitalism has its flaws and problems with corruption. And I have no problem with trying to come up with solutions to those problems. But, I would rather put up with some amount of inequality than deal with the absolute economic obliteration that comes with true socialism.
From Merriam-webster

Everywhere it has been attempted. Most notably with the Bolshevik uprising. Notice how pretty much every country that has a "communist party" in charge actually has a capitalist economic structure. Some are more socialist than others, but capitalism out performs other economic systems so much that communists countries are basically communist in name only.where has worker control failed? everyone promotes it constantly. to me its just common sense: take power from the few to the many.
