Many in the US look at socialist ideals as though they are evil and will destroy everything. Just as many seem to confuse them with communism.

Importantly, socialist and communist societies are different, and there is no successful nation that is purely one or the other. Successful nations with high standards of living and overall higher than average levels of life satisfaction have socialised elements, such as healthcare.

France is not a socialist country. It just has a somewhat okay welfare state.

Never claimed it was a socialist country. Did point out that socialised health care was a feature. Unsure what's being clarified here, or why.

It seems that France, more and more socialist at the time since 1929(?), didn't want to attack the socialist-communists: German National Socialists + URSS in 1939/40 because of their alliance. and that would be why the need to surrender was so important despite pretty-okay infantry, chars and generals.

What? France surrendered because they realized they would lose the war whatever they did. Also Vichy France was very much Catholic right-wing.
