I'd argue a society in which people hoard wealth for fear of the lack of benefits like in China is inherently unsocialist. There's whole Marx essays waxing poetic about how absurd it is that capitalism enforces savings to not die, which undermines the market itself counterproductively. Not to shit on Mao, but Xi China is basically just shitty western capitalism but with white Jewish and certain Protestant ethnicities (and ethnosupremacies) swapped with the Han.
