Not at all, not for any solid meaningful definitions of those words. In fact I think it emphasizes the meaningful distinctions between those concepts.
Socialism is the workers controlling the means of production. Welfare states are not socialism. State owned or "public" is not socialism. Authoritarian states are not socialism. China is not "communist" just because the US has called it that (communism is a classless *stateless* society), the DPRK is not democratic just because it calls itself that.
