That's a lie socialists tell.
Show me a socialist country where people get dividends from Microsoft, Inc. because they "own the means of production".
Socialist pawns don't own shite.

No. That’s communism.

Which then implies that there is some governance structure in which the workers have a democratic voice. This is more disastrous and is why the Communists always have to end up creating a hierarchal system anyway.

Can you sell or trade or transfer your share of the means of production? If not, you don't own it.

Ok....but who controls the distribution of that production?
And once they have control....why do they need to distribute goods and wealth fairly?

In an anarcho-socialist model, the people own the means of production. . .this is what people mean when they say "communism"
The failure of this socio-economic system, is it tells you you CAN work. . .but does nothing to encourage and stimulate work. . .or even tell you WHY you should.
Also fails in certain basic necessities, like logistics and sanitation. Who gets the widgets from Detroit to Bangledesh? A guy that can choose to do anything is just gonna be a deckhand on a ship?
Somebody is gonna volunteer to clean out the sewage tanks and pick up the trash?
