Meanwhile the government running businesses for profit is essentially the definition of socialism lol

In what definition or context is this true?

All of them? I'm not sure I understand the question.

First result on google for "socialism definition" as an example

a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Governments running businesses is what "owning the means of production" means, in every context, by every definition.

I think we think of "profit" differently, but sure.
