Incorrect on a number of counts.More or less. It's State ownership of the means of production (as opposed to the free market model, which is private control of same).
The control over 'other aspects of life' stem from the fact that full blown socialist economies invariably produce tyrannical illiberal States (and require those States to exist in the first place in every example of socialist economies forming).
For what its worth, I also oppose full blown socialism, and support the free market. I'm a liberal.
Next question for you.
Do you consider things like gun control, legalized abortion, same sex marriage, prohibitions on hate speech, health care paid for by the State, (in a nation State that has a free market competitive economy, and in the absence of socialism) 'socialism'?
How is what’s going on now a free market?lmao

The ideal of a perfect free market is an impossible one.How is what’s going on now a free market?
I don’t disagree, but you could hardly call the present conditions a free market given states can’t help but arbitrarily impose restrictions making it very difficult to operate.The ideal of a perfect free market is an impossible one.
Monopolies will always, form, collusion will always happen, coporate free reign would simply be neoliberal governance unmasked.
A decay into corporatism.

Free market the w***ers don’t get bailed out in the GFC
I don’t understand what that has to do with anything.Free money for Harvey Norman
The word 'arbitrarily' is doing a fair amount of work there.I don’t disagree, but you could hardly call the present conditions a free market given states can’t help but arbitrarily impose restrictions making it very difficult to operate.
Lately - seems like it.The word 'arbitrarily' is doing a fair amount of work there.
Do you think governments regulate on a whim?
Which government, which regulations?Lately - seems like it.
Absolutely they do.The word 'arbitrarily' is doing a fair amount of work there.

Uh-uh.Absolutely they do.
As an unvaccinated person I cannot attend my workplace, despite having natural immunity from COVID, and the fact that the Premier is on record saying two doses offer effectively no protection (and no not prevent transmission). Yet I am free to walk around Chadstone shopping centre, passing thousands of strangers. Meanwhile, they are allowing COVID positive (at least in NSW) or recently exposed nurses to work in hospitals.
There is no reasoning. They make it up as they go and regularly contradict themselves. There’s no foresight, and you cannot predict what they will do next.Uh-uh.
'Arbitrarily' indicates that there is no reasoning behind the decisions they're making. You might not agree with the reasoning, but that does not indicate there isn't any.

McGowan seems to be making s**t up over here on a daily basis. Much of it baffling.Which government, which regulations?
Let's be specific, mind. Let's not have any 'it's the vibe' reasoning. Governments rarely do things for no reason.
Demonstrate this, please. Show me the legislation/rules as written, that say, 'We're doing this just 'cause.'There is no reasoning.
Just because you don't seek out the methodology behind why they make the decisions they make does not mean it isn't there.They make it up as they go and regularly contradict themselves. There’s no foresight, and you cannot predict what they will do next.
So much for specific.McGowan seems to be making sh*t up over here on a daily basis. Much of it baffling.
No they aren’t, they are forced to keep me out or face an $100,000 fine which is completely disproportionate to any ‘risk’ (even though there is less risk for me than a vaccinated person who got vaxxed nearly a year ago). I wouldn’t mind so much if they were.Are you saying that your workplace is free to refuse entry based on your vaccination status?
Does the state subsidising something equate to socialism? I’m not so sure it does.

If you read on you’ll see I further clarified my position - I had meant intervention associated with socialism.Tough talk brah.
Too bad that's occured in pretty much every country save Somalia for roughly 25 years (1991-2016), and that wasn't exactly a paradise.
