True--there are economic systems and social systems. And sure, anarchy is not exclusive from capitalism. Socialism and communism are economic systems. The Stalinist system would be called a 'command' society. I used the word 'true' to denote that it was idealized and really can't exist in the world. China can hardly be called purely communist any more.

They are systems and there aren't mixed systems in that way. All those European countries you've mentioned are capitalist, with free market, private business, property and assets and trade.

Sure, but the government has a good amount of control over a variety of aspects of life. Socialism.

You can't be making definitions up as you please. Goverments, taxes and services were always part of capitalism. You're mixing it up with anarchy, different things.

As we've learned from Texas, the people who write the textbooks create the definitions. You're definintion is probably different from mine.
Look at

as long as you're paying taxes for education, development, security why should health care fall into another category? I mean, you don't call it socialised education.

No, USians (and I guess you) do not call those things socialism. But they are.
