No they arent. In fact their economy may be more free than ours.

Do you understand what socialism entails?

Oh you're getting tripped up by thinking socialism as a blanket practice.

Here:
"The welfare state is a concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the social and economic well-being of its citizens. It is based on the principles of equality of opportunity, equitable distribution of wealth, and public responsibility for those unable to avail themselves of the minimal provisions for a good life. The general term may cover a variety of forms of economic and social organization.[1] The sociologist T.H. Marshall described the modern welfare state as a distinctive combination of democracy, welfare, and capitalism.[2]"

They combine this with free market capitalism. I would love to switch and maybe we can agree on that.
