    IMO you need to read a bit more what Socialist is/means
    and what State Capitalism Means/vs Private Enterprise.

    Both Mussolini & Hitler implemented a form of State Capitalism
    which Hitler called "National Socialism" without confiscating
    private property.

    Lenin-Stalin did the Full Monty and virtually nationalised the
    lot which , IMO, is proper State Capitalism.
    (see definition of Capital)

    Since the mid 1980s we have being going the opposite
    direction by privatising State Owned Enterprises (SOEs)
    such as the Comm Bank, Telstra, Qantas, CSL etc.

    Perhaps you should have a look at Wikipedia's "Political Spectrum"
    & click on the highlighted blue terminology for further info.

    There is a distinct difference between what is defined as political,
    economic or a combo of both IMO.

    Capitalism:
    "An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state."an era of free-market capitalism"
