Socialism--this is the dictionary definition of socialism. Particularly relevant right now, since it is the path we in the US are blindly blundering down as we nationalize banks and buy 60% interest in automakers using taxpayer money, but without the permission of the taxpayers or the administration even bothering to ask the congress. This path has always historically ended in economic collapse and the destruction of the civil society. --Steve Davis Denver, Colorado

Collective
This is one definition of "socialism." The social extension is called "communism" in that a classless society shares equally the responsibility and benefits of production.
Communism
That would be state capitalism, with the government owning the means of production. In Socialism, there is no exchange, and the whole community owns the means of production.
The means of production is owned by the collective ownership of the workers.
Communism emphasizes class struggle, collective ownership of resources, and the eventual abolition of private property to achieve a classless society. It also advocates for a planned economy, where the government controls the means of production to ensure equal distribution of wealth among all citizens.

Socialism
A collective economy is an economic system where ownership of resources and the means of production is shared or collectively controlled by a group of individuals or the community as a whole. In this system, decision-making and distribution of goods and services are often based on principles of cooperation and mutual benefit rather than individual profit.
A socialist economy is characterised by public ownership of the means of production and distribution. There is collective ownership whereby all mines, farms, factories, financial institutions, distributing agencies (internal and external trade, shops, stores, etc.), means of transport and communications, etc.
