What is the socialist view on corporate regulation?

[IranianDemocrat]

Can someone sum it up for me in about a paragraph?

[Caution]

1. Socialists are for it. <eom>

2. That's an impossible question.

There is a political spectrum that runs from capitalism to socialism. Pure socialism is state ownership of the means of production. Pure capitalism is unbridled, laissez faire capitalism.

99.9% of the world is somewhere in between. Most of us a bunched right in the middle. People might call me a socialist because I believe that monopolies should be either regulated or broken up. IMO, I'm not a socialist.

I believe in free enterprise as a rule, but I also realize that greed isn't always good, and that sometimes govt has to step in for the good of society.

3. Exactly, and that is what government is for,

the good of society.

4. ok

socialists want that only the goverment runs corporations.

The socialdemocrats that mostly run europe are pretty pro goverment restricting private corporations

5. I'll tell you. I Iong for the days when public utilities were monopolies

and they were heavily regulated. Even better yet, would be for those same utilities to be operated as a branch of government.
