Command economies are a component of some past socialist regimes. They are not a defining feature of socialism as a political and economic philosophy. I'm tired of socialist=bad and related categorical rhetorics. It's nuanced: where did worker unions, welfare programmes come from? And, to say that worker unions are a socialist thing is, in a way, lazy thinking too: there were specific initiatives, organizations and, above all, people that spearheaded these things we take for granted, but noone remembers them and some guy on a forum just lumps them into the "socialism" bag, which, again, is correct, but lazy and surely unuseful.
