Socialism is worker-controlled means of production. State-controlled means of production is socialism if the workers control the state (which is generally not the case for states that call themselves "socialist").

Youre kidding yourself if you think the average worker in Japan has much say in the company, or how those companies direct the state

they're conservative, in the sense they don't like change, but that ain't nothin to do w/ Karl M

I don't think Japan is socialist.

There's nothing in their answer that indicates this, you are confusing with the other person.

No, that's communism, or at least what communist propaganda say it is. In communism the means of production are controlled by the state (saying they're controlled by the workers, but it's false).

AFAIK, the means of production (large ones, not a one-man-tailor-shop) were never controlled by the workers, except maybe in the extremely short periods of anarchism.
