You are right, only 39 of the top 40 economies have socialist policies like universal education, Healthcare or workers rights. Total failure.

    Welfare isn't socialism, this isn't the gotcha you think it is.

    No? Socialism is a mode of production and distribution, not something as simple as a social safety net operating within the bounds of capitalism. This isn't a purity test, it's a definitional distinction.
