Gina, socialism is communal ownership such as roads, hospitals, schools

There is really nothing "communal" in that ownership. In a mature Soviet style socialist system everything is under absolute control by party and government bosses. If a director of a factory receives a phone call from the central committee with some suggestions, you better believe that those "suggestions" will be followed to the letter. If a judge receives an "opinion" about a pending case from "above", that will decide the case. They "communally" own the judges too. And the teachers and doctors as well.

and taking money away from one lot of people to give to others who "need" it

Not quite. Why go through the trouble of taking away money from people if you are in full control of what they get paid in the first place....
