Are Iran, Syria, and Gaddafi-era Libya all capitalist countries?

Coupled with Iraq during Saddam's era, they are all Arab democratic socialist countries.

Mainland China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and Laos are all scientific socialist countries.

According to our traditional view, we do not recognize them as socialist countries. The same goes for democratic socialism in Northern Europe, which is classified as capitalism.

In fact, the term socialism originally referred to a social system different from classic capitalism. Socialism does not specifically refer to scientific socialism. Take a look at the "Communist Manifesto". There is a large section at the end that criticizes all kinds of socialism at that time.

As a result, after Stalin’s purges and our 10-year chaos, the older generation of revolutionaries taught us with bloody facts that scientific socialism is socialism, and other socialisms are capitalism.
