you are just a liar and just say bad propaganda about socialism.
You are one of the joker who takes the propaganda of totalitarians regimes for right.
Socialism is democracy on political and economic level . This is why it is opposed to capitalism
There is no forced redistribution because under socialism economic property is collective , and then it belongs to everyone. Go learn about socialism before saying stupidities.
On the other hand capitalism FORCES peoples to stay out of some resources because the resource is privatized and this peoples are poor. And it cans include some vital resources. While with collective property this problem does not exist by nature.
You don't understand what is democracy : democracy is a COLLECTIVE POWER where everyone has the same level of power, and decisions are taken by discussions and choice of all members of the collective ( with rules for making a final decisions when there is not unanimity ) .
You have direct democracy , for small collective, like a village or an enterprise , or indirect democracy for bigger collectives like cities, regions , nation, or big enterprises.
And democracy in enterprises is .... socialism.
For a state configuration, the state can be called really socialism only if the state is democratic on political level.
Cooperatives are the typical socialist enterprises.
Planned market is not what define socialism, socialism was born for giving the power to the workers who create wealth by their work, instead of the power of the capitalist who are exploiting workers. Socialism anarchism has no state for example.
On the other hand capitalism is the rule of a minority (the capitalists) over the majority of the workers/employees. In non regulated capitalism like under the 19th century, capitalism was capitalist FORCING worker to live in harsh condition, with a misery wage. AND because the power of the capitalism is not democratic , workers could not do anything. The politic system who was in line with the capitalism was the system that British, Americans and French ( else in Republican period) get after their classic liberal revolution : riches men voting for riches men.
All real socialist experience like the French Commune of Paris, are based on an elected assembly without chief. This is Socialism. Then you are just proving that you know nothing about socialism else what totalitarians and capitalist propaganda say.
Economic Democracy, is just historic, real , socialism, rebranded, after one century of vilification of socialism by propaganda from totalitarians ans capitalist, well it is none trend among others.

here the proof that you are an ignorant :
https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/what-is-democratic-socialism-definition/
just for the broad definition of socialism :
"Socialism is a political ideology that advocates for an egalitarian redistribution of wealth and power in society through a democratic ownership and distribution of society’s means of production (producing goods and making money)."
If you believe otherwise, it is because you have been brainwashed by propaganda of stalin, mao, etc..... who wanted to make believe to the mass that their dictatorships were socialism, it is just manipulation from totalitarian systems. Oh nazism share 0% of the definition of socialism, it was just a label for trapping the workers in the hand of racist German nationalism.
Stalinism and Maoism are not socialism they are just bureaucratic dictatorship, they can't fit under socialist label.

Yes a society with low economic inequality ( using socialist redistribution ) are healthier, they have lower crime rate than societies with high level of inequalities, allow peoples to have the FREEDOM to access to many of important services.
A society without redistribution and public service, is a society where what drives the decision of peoples is not the individual will and needs but only money , how money you can get, how money you can afford, etc...
Authoritarianism being described by : when what drives the person is external and superior to the individual.
Then a full private society is an authoritarian society, because the real drive of the society is money, (external to the person) and is considered as superior to the individual : you can't pay? sorry you will die of this curable disease.
In areal individualist society, the need of the individual matters more than money. The functional socialist society like Scandinavians countries , is more individualist than societies based on privates services. The best proof is that they are on the top of individual freedoms in the world world.

North Korea is an authoritarian hereditary monarchy, nothing to do with socialism.
Socialism is anti monarchic, and against single ruler.
State is nothing in itself, it is just a tool, what defines the political side is how you use the state.
Left wing state is at the service of all the population, the majority, like with social democracy in Nordic countries and some politic from other western countries.
Right wing state is at a service of the dominant minorities. Like before the revolutions, the state was at the service of the monarchy, the nobles and the clergies. Right wing politic in USA leads to put the state at the service of big corporations like weaponry, oil, etc.... And the last Iraq's war was the best example of a right wing state in action.
state = left , no state = right is wrong and just for the brainwashed who can't understand complexity and prefer simple ideas.
