Answer:

Socialism

Step-by-step explanation:

Both socialism and communism are economic theories that attempted to

even out inequalities of wealth. However, while under communism private property wouldn´t exist at all, as all property would be communally owned, and controlled by a strong central government, under socialism individuals can own property, and workers, the proletariat, are meant to be the owners of the means of production.

The idea of workers taking control of factories is against the principles of capitalism, in which private businesses are the owners of the means of production, so Capitalism is incorrect.

Utopianism is incorrect because, despite the historical debate around their virtue, socialist structures are not impracticable theories.
