"Under socialism, since there is no private ownership of the factors of production,"

There have been democratic socialist gov'ts that havn;t demanded full state power over all the factors of production e.g the Labour party in Britain.

edit: the "old" labour party that is. The 'New' Labour party "have sought to take a middle way between the more centralised socialist approach of past Labour governments and the free market approach of the Conservative government from 1979 to 1997" and have consequently proved historically unpopular.

Maybe you should have included a pony in your argument, because then I would have been convinced that under a capitalist system overpopulation could never be a problem.

These aren't socialist governments per se, rather, they are interventionist.

But you're right; the way you're using "socialist" is the way that it is popularly used, rather than the way it was historically used.

I wasn't making an argument, brainiac, I was explaining my position. You know, like I was asked to do. But please, don't let me stop you from trolling.
