Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason

Socialism by definition is not anti establishment. It's anti current establishment but the philosophy is geared towards a bigger government "establishment".
No, it is not. Socialism does not mean statism. Please feel free to read up on libertarian socialism, Anarcho syndicalism or even eco socialism. The Greens/EFA in europe lean towards libertarian socialism.
Libertarian socialist here: Say it again for the people at the back.
How does that work together? Like a socio democratic flavor?
Right now our government has been trending authoritarian, but our companies are full-blown dictatorships.
In my ideal world, we don't have private ownership of businesses. Instead of banks we only have credit unions, instead of corporations providing services, we'd have worker's co-ops. We wouldn't even really have a stock market per-se, because everyone would own a share of every company.
The duty of our collective ventures is to benefit mankind, not to steal from the poor and give to the rich. Furthermore, our society should be optimized for the freedom of its people, not the freedom of its corporate masters nor the freedom of its military industrial complex.
Probably the most prominent libertarian socialist thinker is Noam Chomsky.
