Not in practice, but they do claim to be (and in fairness, do some things in a more "socialist" way - looking at you privatisation in the west...)
I think this what OOP means with "aesthetics", it's that they claim to be a socialist state, when in many ways, it's rather capitalist.
Regardless, holding up any country as a beacon of all that is good is pretty silly, if you ask me.
No where (that I know of) should be emulated in every regard.
