There is not enough difference between them to matter. One major difference between a free(ish) market and the murderous S.F.C. regimes is the nature of sacrifice.

Socialists expect OTHERS to sacrifice for the greater good. They think a particular sacrifice is a good thing, and therefore should have the force of law. They prescribe a solution without regard to either it being voluntary or even effective, and enforce it with guns and handcuffs.
The difference is subtle, but most of us will voluntarily make self-sacrifice for the good of our future self, our family our communities and our nation - but we need to volunteer for the sacrifice. Being forced to sacrifice is ALWAYS going to breed resentment, which is why socialism is such a murderous ideology - in short order the dissenters are identified as the obstacle to utopia, and are the eggs that must be broken in order to make the omelette.
