A socialist government does not mean that everything is owned by the goverment. it means that the government is elected from a party with socialist ideology, meaning they intend to base their policies on more equitable redistribution of wealth and will tend to redress the unfairness of their economic system. They may provide health, education etc.. democracy and socialism are not antonyms since a sign of democracy is a popularly elected government

Socialism refers to a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to social control.[1] This control may be either direct—exercised through popular collectives such as workers' councils—or indirect—exercised on behalf of the people by the state. As an economic system, socialism is often characterized by state or community ownership of the means of production.
