The workers didn't own the means of production in Venezuela either.

Most industry in Venezuela is privately or publicly owned.

That's why I said "at least in terms of propaganda". Anything that's owned by the state is considered to be owned by (all) the people.

Venezuela also is not by definition a socialist country, it just has a socialist party whose goal is socialism. There still is a relatively strong opposition.
