I have an old dictionary that defines communism as government ownership of 
businesses and socialism as government regulation of businesses. So, for 
example, the US postal service, or the regulated monopolies like water 
service, pre-divestiture phone service, etc, would be socialist.

Nowadays the dictionaries define those as political systems rather than 
economic ones.
