Umair, can’t redefine Socialism to fit your narrative:

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/socialism

  1. Socialism definition, a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution …

Your statement :

That’s not to say capitalism shouldn’t or doesn’t have a role. Solar panels are made by companies - but the incentive to use them is set by societies. So capitalism and socialism are going to have work hand in hand if the world wants to prosper.”

What you describe is not leftist or Socialism it is “Compassionate Conservatism” we must make Companies and the Oligarchs more socially responsible but that is not socialism. In socialism there are no companies just the government or in the weakest and most evil versions of socialism the companies are mostly owned by the government or powerful people in the government and are directed by the government and you are not allowed to compete with the government companies.
