You seem to confuse free education and healthcare, government control of essential resources (water, electricity) and government taking case of the poor and disabled to some authoritarian communist shitshow behind the iron curtain.

You’re mistaking socialism for welfare state. Socialism IS the authoritarian shitshow behind iron curtain
Because it appeals to misguided people who have no idea what shit show it was.
Seriously, in Polish Sejm there’s currently no party with “Socialism” in the name. That brand doesn’t sell here
In reality the model you described earlier runs in majority of European countries - state run health care + state run or at least state controlled critical infrastructure + some welfare for poor - all of this financed by taxes collected from capitalist economy.
By all possible definitions it’s a welfare state
Most of civilized world outside of US works like that.

How americanized of you.
