You're probably describing capitalism with social welfare/safety nets. Whereas often socialism is considered to be specifically not capitalism and may not allow for the idea of working to get more resources
Fundamentally you're probably happy with capitalism in terms of economy but want further govt regulation/welfare. Which I think is probably the best system we have
