I understood that and was commenting on those who do believe that and what they never think of.True, actual socialism would do that.
These policies and institutions COULD be called socialist, but it's more accurate to call them "socialist-like" since they're really not socialism per se. Strictly speaking, it could be well argued that publicly held companies for example, exude the most basic tenet of socialism whereby the means of production is owned and regulated by the community as a whole (shareholders) and democratically controlled (shareholder's meetings.)
That doesn't mean that our system of publicly held corporations is a socialist system in and of itself.
