Once again social programs are not necessarily socialism. Unfettered capitalism led to the robber barons and social programs along with enacted laws ended that dog eat dog existence.'as yet'?
Because a country adopts one portion of a model doesn't mean it's going to inevitably go full on to adopt that model fully. No serious person in western civilization thinks that full socialism is going to work. I know there are some on these boards that espouse that idea, but I'd just say they aren't serious thinkers. A mix of capitalism and socialism works very well for many countries.
Social safety nets are a good thing and having each others backs is why societies are formed. This however is not socialism.
