>but many are skeptical that empowering the government is the best way to achieve these ends.

That just seems like a rejection of socialism with extra words.

Not really. There's a lot of debate on the role of government within socialist circles themselves, and there are many socialists that are skeptical of the idea that you can implement socialism top-down, without it becoming either totalitarian, or a form of collectivist capitalism where the ruling elites collectively own the means of production and collect economic rents from the rest.
