#1 "Socialism" originally meant government ownership of the major means of production and finance, such as land, coal mines, steel mills, automobile factories, and banks.

Just as war is a continuation of politics by other means, the use of massive regulatory authority by the government is ownership by other means. Hitler didn't directly take over the major industries of Germany, but he worked an accord with the industrialist that achieved basically the same end state. They got to keep 'ownership' and management positions, but the state told them what to do.

#5 You cannot redistribute wealth without punishing one party for creating the wealth and rewarding another party for not creating wealth.

The more you do it and the longer you do it for, the less wealth will exist.
