In theory, not in practice. In practice as well. The main means of production where collectively owned, and controlled by the government. Socialism doesn't imply democracy or freedom. You could have a democratic socialist institution. You could even have a relatively free socialist institution if its small and voluntary, but you can also have a socialist dictatorship, and that's how socialism has existed on the very large scale in the real world. Its an example of a dictatorship and why that can be negative on a lot of different levels. and it was even more negative because of the socialist aspects.
