One definition of communism or socialism in its more extreme varieties is that the state becomes the only remaining capitalist. So, having some capitalist aspects doesn't necessarily preclude socialism. Every real-world implementation of socialism (in the true sense of the word, not the Nordic / social democracy kind of system) to this day seems to either have had some features of a dictatorship right from the start or devolved into a dictatorship over time. The only instance of socialism I can think of where this wasn't the case is the Allende government in Chile and that unfortunately didn't last long enough (less than 3 years) to see how it would've evolved in the long run.
