Wow, not a single word of that was accurate. As always, the guy bitching about socialism ruining stuff has absolutely no fucking clue what socialism actually is. Let's look at actual definitions. I'm gonna list several so you can't accuse me of cherry picking.

"socialism, social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members." https://www.britannica.com/money/socialism

"Socialism is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems[1] characterised by social ownership of the means of production,[2] as opposed to private ownership.[3][4][5] It describes the economic, political, and social theories and movements associated with the implementation of such systems.[6] Social ownership can take various forms, including public, community, collective, cooperative,[7][8][9] or employee.[10][11]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

"Socialism describes any political or economic theory that says the community, rather than individuals, should own and manage property and natural resources. The term “socialism” has been applied to very different economic and political systems throughout history, including utopianism, anarchism, Soviet communism and social democracy. These systems vary widely in structure, but they share an opposition to an unrestricted market economy, and the belief that public ownership of the means of production (and making money) will lead to better distribution of wealth and a more egalitarian society." https://www.history.com/topics/industrial-revolution/socialism

And because it's long and has multiple definitions, I'll just link a dictionary entry here without copying, noting that none of them resemble what you said at all: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

Socialism is about one thing and one thing only: who gets to own the means of production, the things society needs to produce the food and goods that allow society to function? Capitalism says the guy who has all the money to buy it should own it. Communism says society should collectively own it. Socialism says something in the middle, often that the workers who actually use the means of production to, well, produce.
