Socialism is when workers control the means of production.

I might be picking nits, but Socialism is when a group controls the means of production. This can be workers, or the state, or simply a group of citizens. Think of a cooperative: I own a share in the coop, but do not work there. I can help drive the direction of the organization. There is no requirement that a member-owner must be a worker.
