B. What American liberals think is socialism, which is just a capitalist system with welfare.
A.
Either.
Aka socdem vs demsoc

Today I learned that Socialism is when you do Capitalism in a nice way.
Oh wait, no I didn't, because Capitalism and Socialism are completely different modes of Production.
Why? OP clearly states "worker controlled systems," it's not difficult to see what they're talking about.
I agree, but nothing in this post is calling for deregulation and privatization, rather the opposite.
