I would find it helpful if you specified what you mean by 'socialism'
and 'socialisied'.

I am skeptical because some of the past uses of 'socialised' in this
context do not seem applicable today. There was an argument based on
certain isomorphisms of socialist and capitalist production and
administrative systems in the heyday of mass production. Hence the
convergence literature of the sixties, and some of the arguments
advanced by Harrington
and Galbraith in the seventies. Since then, the state socialist half of
this isomorphism has collapsed, and the capitalist half has moved on.

But maybe I'm just out of date. So please expand.
