    > the government rowing the ship of state (socialism)

    "Socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff it does the socialister it is." - Carltural Marks

    Nope, sorry, communism is the end result, socialism (social ownership of the means of production) is the method for achieving it. Marx himself used the terms interchangeably.

    There can be no "middle way" - either the MoP is privately owned (capitalism) or socially (socialism). A "healthy mix" that retains private property is still just capitalism with a few sops to the poor to stop them from revolting (welfare).
