This is very different from socialism you're referring to. It's just an increase in the amount of money that goes to welfare. A minor parametric change branded as something new.
On the other hand, China's implementation of socialism has taken it from a third world country to the most powerful nation in the world in a little under 40 years.
Yeah that's not really socialism that's doing that. They're become pretty capitalistic over there in certain respects.
It's pretty convenient for you to call a communist a communist only when he fails, but then take credit when he succeeds. I still see a nation with no liberty, controlled by a central planner to a very large extent. It may not conform perfectly to Marx's vision, but it sure as hell doesn't conform to Adam Smith's, either.
