I would hardly call "basic minimum income" socialism. Socialism is top-down control of the economy by the state; this is just an (extremely) liberal (in the european sense) welfarism. You could argue that it's less socialistic than the US' welfare system, which imposes lots of behaviour controls on its recipients.
