what is this dream I have of surreal socialism?

today I researched, temporarily, whether socialists (generally) support any measures of private ownership – corporations, for example.

I found nothing that satisfied my researching tastes, or the answer I wanted: no, they do not, and this is what they do instead.

While we may hold this general belief about the economy and society, we can’t practice it. Socialism is *not* a freedom granted by the Canadian state, for it is impossible to practice fully because of the constraints of private ownership.

Do I want 100% state-owned enterprise? I don’t know. I’m truthfully not sure. I do know that private-owned enterprise seems to espouse every horrid thing I know about capitalism. Co-operatives are mildly better, but there are bad ones of those out there as well. AT MINIMUM, the control of the enterprise is by the workers/community.

I’m really at a flux point, where I wish I could experience the utopian world I imagine as so wonderfully egalitarian in my head. I just don’t know how to go about doing such a thing.
