Cowbee is mostly correct so I'm not going to address everything but there are 2 pieces I want to respond to.
That doesn't seem to be true. Like an economy that doesn't funnel money into individuals. Or even moneyless economies like Library or Gift. (Though moneyless economies imply we're achieving actual communism, going beyond socialism)
Are you talking about free housing (etc) programs being managed as a cooperative, alongside a commodities market of cooperatives? If yes, that's not capitalism, that's socialism. If no, then you must be talking about a welfare state like what's in Scandinavia, which isn't socialist.
Kind of relevant to both points, there are a few different schools of socialism so you could see if any make more sense to you.
