> state was deeply involved in the economy, thus making it socialist.

>Capitalism requires freedom, the opposite of dictatorship.

You clearly have some amount of misunderstanding or an active bias/axe to grind. Suffice to say, that's not what any of those terms mean.

Socialism - “a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole“

That definition clearly excludes any dictatorship because a dictatorship is by definition controlled by a dictator, not by the community as a whole.

"Community as a whole" is keyword for the State/Goverment, as the practical representant of the community. And the dictator is/controls the state.
