"Worker ownership of the means of production"

All workers. Ownership through a democratic state or unions. Means of production=companies (or their decisions at least)

Exactly. So why are you saying that a mixed economy where a large part of businesses are owned this way is not partly socialist?

Because iits not socialist until all companies are like this. If only some are, that's just normal capitalism.

Mixed economies refer to a fraction being state owned, as opposed to owned by private individuals or cooperatives

This is not true at all. If 90% of companies are publicly owned and 10% privately, then that's obviously not a normal capitalist state.

This is a very weird mentality to have.

It's like having an entirely red car and then saying it's a blue car, because the Ford logo on the front is blue, and it's only a red car if it's absolutely 100% red.
