Let me clarify and demonstrate that we basically agree. The difference is inclusivity vs exclusivity.
They want exclusive socialism - as in guaranteed high base living standards - for an ethnic elite, built on the labor and deprivation of an subservient ethnic underclass working natural resources that the ethnic elite hold own over.
There will still be those who own more capital and less, but importantly they will be limited to the ethnic elite.
There are plenty of historical examples of this: slave economies in the Americas, extractive colonialism, apartheid, Jim Crow and so many other examples.
I would agree that liberal capitalist democracy runs counter to all of those goals, because it is (at least in-theory) inclusive.
