no, socialism does not mean to create a all-powerful government, and it doesn't want big corporate businesses to control society either. ----the wealthy 1% make basic economic decisions that affects millions, and resources are used to make money for capitalists rather than to meet human needs, such as social investments like mass transit, housing, education, medicine, and energy.

Yes, and that's exactly how I like it and how it should be in nature. Most social animals have a hierarchy that leads to amassing of resources towards the top. Trying to collectively meet human needs is socialist.

That does not work. Take Trinidad & Tobago for example. T&T is one of the wealthiest countries in the Caribbean as well as having one of the highest GDP (PPP) per capita in the Americas, and yet most of T&T citizens are poor, the roads are in bad condition, and hardly any police stations for miles etc. So where is that wealth going? Definitely not towards human needs.
