No, by definition they aren't. You added the "-ism" incorrectly, you should stop at "social programs".

Must of missed the whole market socialism thing in the Nordics and under Blair in the UK?

That's not market socialism, at best it's called Keynesianism.

Yeah you're right. I think it originated from Adam Smith? Vietnam would probably be described as market socialist

The Nordic model has social policies

Blair described his as an alternative to socialism

In the United Kingdom, Third Way social-democratic proponent Tony Blair claimed that the socialism he advocated was different from traditional conceptions of socialism and said: "My kind of socialism is a set of values based around notions of social justice. ... Socialism as a rigid form of economic determinism has ended, and rightly."[7] Blair referred to it as a "social-ism" involving politics that recognised individuals as socially interdependent and advocated social justice, social cohesion, equal worth of each citizen and equal opportunity.
