I guess it comes out to be different from communism in that the individuals fortune is still tied to the company and not the state, which means it easier to jump a sinking ship, but still has the same 'people are not ants' issues overall.
But if wikipedia is right then what the hell does universal health care have to do with socialism?
two things come to mind.
wikipedia is not fully right or nothing.
There is a lot more stuff on the wikipedia entry on Socialism than just the basic "workers own their company" The word itself seems to be a very fluid word, sometimes it just means what I stated, sometimes it means "stuff for the people," sometimes it's "communism lite," and other times it's "another communist plot."
