"I don't see why the "nuance" between a bureaucracy and a socialism matters."

Other than the fact they aren't the same, I dunno.

Why do you have to make up your own definitions for things? While a socialistic state likely has a bureaucracy, but it isn't a strict requirement. Any government, regardless of orientation, is going to have a bureaucracy of some sort. While it isn't a strict requirement, it does make administration easier.

"I don't know of any socialism that isn't in the form of a big government bureaucracy."

So, you never heard of a kibbutz? Any time when costs are shared equally, that is socialistic. And many such cooperatives don't have large bureaucracies associated with them. It is a nature, human impulse to band together and share. The whole idea of every man for himself is a rather more recent invention.
