Well... usually that is done through a government. There isn't a single type of socialism just as there isn't a single type of capitalism. The government being a public entity, being a representative of the government, is in fact one way to handle said social ownership. |

| Given other examples worldwide, it's a minor form of state capitalism, not socialism because again there is nothing about workers (not just any taxpayers) controlling the means of production. |

| ▲ | petralithic 3 days ago | parent [-] | | It is in the definition of the word. I never said anything that deviates is capitalism though because one can make the same argument against that too. |
