I'm not sure that I consider your description of socialism accurate. From dictionary.com socialism is "... a social system in which the means of producing and distributing goods are owned collectively and political power is exercised by the whole community." I don't see the comparison you're making.
I also don't believe there will be a day when corporations will operate sans-regulation. It is far more difficult to be delinquent as a Corporation (depending on what corporation you're referring to, of course) today than it was 25 years ago. I am not arguing that corporate regulation is a bad thing. It's not. I don't see how the government's role in this is socialism, though.
I agree with your statement about the quality of individuals over corporations, but I think that part of the government's job (especially state governments) is to make sure that corporations are held accountable. There should be rules in place that protect individuals from the corporations. If the rules are broken, there need to be consequences.
