Nope. That's syndicalism. "Social" comes from a Latin word meaning, "allies," and is commonly used to refer to friendship, groups, society, etc., NOT "WORKERS." You are just OBJECTIVELY WRONG.

Right. And it was socialism.
Because Lenin was a liar. "State capitalism" is an absurd and dishonest oxymoron that socialists concocted to try to shift onto capitalism the blame for what socialism actually did when implemented in practice.
Because that would be syndicalism, not socialism.
Or the entry for "socialism" in any good dictionary.

"Collective" ownership and control is what was developed in the USSR and China to name two places,

The issue is who controls it. And it's not the workers.

And no, I haven't waded through all the posts on all these pages.
