Just because someone says they represent everyone, and that what they own is owned by everyone, doesn't make it true.

Did people have a say in what they could do with that infrastructure, or was it ultimately just up to the people in charge? If the former, it was socialism, if the latter, it wasn't.

Be more concerned with what people do, not necessarily what they say, when ascribing ideals to them.
