Only if you keep all the stuff you produce

    Oh cool, socialism is when you own a means of production but only keep some of the produced goods.

    If you keep more than you need, yes. Socialism is not about hoarding wealth especially in the form of necessary goods.

    Who gets to decide how much I need? Some juche thug in the capital wearing a bunch of fake military ribbons? Sign me up!

    IDK, maybe we could decide such things similar to how we're having this conversation and we're able to upvote on what's being said. Totally unprecedented I know.

    Socialism is when you don’t have to do alienated work. And when noone else has to. Of course the productivity will be higher if you share the means of production with others. But it’s perfectly fine to work on your own too and harvest the fruit of your work. As you know, nobody gets rich by his own hands work, but you can get along. Capitalist exploitation starts when other people work for you and when you take the added value for your own benefits.
