it's true that germany is a nation that doesn't really use a free market
instead it's more of a "monster in chains" approach to the market, where the default assumption is that the free market is an opportunistic and sometimes destructive force that can only consistently do good if restrained by a gijillon laws and bounds
but "socialism", "socialist" etc are models of distribution or collecitve funding
and they are not used in housing or energy, which are still private
