Socialism means government ownership of the means of production, and governments necessarily own the land on which roads are constructed. Therefore, governments are always going to be involved in the provision of roads; the only question is what role the government should play.

You are probably confusing socialism with communism which is not uncommon due to the incessant propaganda conflating the two.
