It would depend on what you thought the notion of ownership- or-control was in "means of production owned or controlled by the working class, or by the people generally." Most of the proposals for socialism I've seen suppose familiar liberal ideas of o-o-c, but I would think that if socialism were constructed in a community without a liberal history, such as China, Iran, or New Guinea, it might look quite different. Anarcho-socialists find no role for government at all, of course.
