If one, for example, could consider a universal health care system such as the NHS in the UK can exist in an overall capitalist system then we can consider capitalist mechanisms could exist under an overall socialist system (though it should be noted that markets existed long before capitalism).
How would then one potentially define a system is socialist or not? If the system is not submissive to capital it could potentially be considered socialist. A century worth of data from various social projects around the world suggests that a dictatorship of the proleteriat with a vanguard party at the helm would be needed to have a hope of being more powerful than capital, of which it could be said that Yugoslavia did meet that criteria.
Each nation will have to discover for themselves through scientific application of political economic development (ie marxism) how this could be achieved.
