That's obviously true, but what drives it? My take is that there is a fundamental difference in approach towards uncertainty.
Socialism wants to plan and control everything. It literally fears unknown...
Here's the problem for me with making war on such vocabulary, it is that these words mean very different things to different people. When I was younger (70s/early 80s) socialism meant the common man against vested interests. Now it seems to mean enforcing dogmatic concepts like transgernderism, and is often equated in the minds of north Americans with Marxism, and by extension Bolshevism. Same with capitalism in the minds of its opponents, it is equated with corporate power and centralization (crony capitalism), which I am sure is not what you are describing (I think capitalism and the drive to "capitalise" are an inate human characteristic). So we end up in this war denouncing "socialism" or "capitalism" when I actually think the problem is much deeper. Sorry, I do not have answers to solve this, I just like questioning things.
