Both. All countries that are capitalist are also socialist. They are unavoidably, inextricably conjoined.

Communist countries cannot, BY DEFINITION be socialist. BECAUSE they aren't capitalist.

I keep telling you, the definition of "socialism" in your brain and most English speakers is false, and the result of an extremely vast bolshevik, communist psy op. BRAINWASHING. And everybody repeats the same thing: "the evil of socialism" while in fact, socialism is ONLY GOOD.

The name itself says it: It is the contrary of ANTISOCIAL behavior. It benefits people. Often at the expense of corporations. NEVER to the point of making capitalism impracticable however, and ALWAYS in a way that BALANCES the economy between the people and corporations.

Preventing people from being worked to death then discarded like slaves, child labor, termination without notice after years of faithful service without severance, and such things... ARE ALL SOCIALISM.

Yes, Lenin and Marx tried co-opting the word to make it stick to their hellish plans and ideas. That doesn't mean these insane maniacs have to be taken at their word. WHY WOULD ANYBODY DO THAT????

That is a wonderful argument. We should have started with this, so I could begin by admitting myself, Truth and Reality, all 3 of us, beaten by your implacable logic and reasoning.
