Socialism isn't "government does thing". It's when large groups of people get together and tell the institutions "you're going to do what's best for us, and not what's best for the .001% at the top". This goes for interacting with the government, too.

There are effects of this that can be felt, like "socialized medicine" or other public services... but they are not what socialism is, just what socialism does.
