You just described the difference between facist and communisist economics.

Socialists are content with having some state owned enterprises but otherwise taxing to death the private sector to fund their communist schemes. The communists schemes of today are green jobs, they are racial agendas and reparations, they are wealth redistribution, they are dominating education k-12 and in universities so all their commie friends have jobs and can indoctrinate young skulls full of mush
