Well regulated capitalism is literally just that. If you believe it is socialism, you drank the republican koolaid.
You also fundamentally misunderstand the EU. When it comes to our labor market, the EU might be one of the most capitalist things ever. We even have fking public transport companies compete with each other on an EU level, Americans could only dream of something like that. Imagine mexican workers just crossing the border to work in the states and going home after their shifts, all of it completely legal - in Luxembourg they just call this another Tuesday.
That amorphous Something you are alluding to which is totally not socialism has the same advantages your imaginary gf has over my wife. Sure, in your head she might look better, is a better dancer or whatever you're into, the major downside is just her not being real and never having a real shot at coming into existence.
