I realize that the right gets a lot of mileage out of changing the meanings of words, so I don't expect this to catch on, but ---
Socialism as meaning the welfare state is just wrong.
Socialism has a different meaning of "the state owns the major means of production and distribution".
Welfare in Greek is "evimería", evimeríaism is maybe the proper word for what Western Europe is. Or not, we could just use "welfareism".
If so, then Western European govs. might be called democratic welfareism.
