True. But that's not really what socialists are after, is it? They can do collective ownership now, under the current form of government. The employee-owned company is already a thing. Why does anything need to change?Marx saw socialism as a transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of communism.
Socialism advocates the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Collective ownership can involve government or not.
