What do you mean "socialist country thay works," in a manner opposed to Communism? Are you calling the Nordic Countries "socialist," despite reliance on hyper-exploitation of the global south and sliding worker protections, as a means to discredit AES countries?

in Austria we call it "sozialdemokratie" and i believed americans translate that to socialism. wich is not national socialism or communism btw. and yes i do because, as i said, you can have a social base for your country and still habe a capitalist economy structure.

Social Programs within a Capitalist framework are concessions. In the European Countries, these social programs have been eroding over time, because the Workers do not have control. Moreover, the European Countries (and US, of course) rely on Imperialism, ie hyper-exploiting the Global South by exporting Capital and intentionally engaging in unequal exchange. These are parasitic countries that do not fund their safety nets inwardly, but externally, they only work like a leech works to produce food for itself, by taking from others.
