No some of their advantage are where they in a small way are less socialist (broadly defined), such as lower tax rates on corporations. Stronger property rights are also less socialist then having weaker rights (at least weaker rights against the government). Less complex tax code? That's not exactly anti-socialist, but there its not like socialism makes the tax code less complex (unless you have such total socialism that there is no need for a tax code with the government owning everything). A less litigious legal culture is neither an aspect of socialism, or of moving away from socialism, in the European social democrat / Bernie Sanders / tax and redistribute sense. Perhaps you wont have one under more total socialist/communist systems, but you'll have commissars telling you what to do instead.

As for what things like a more limited and efficient regulatory state, a less litigious legal culture, lower corporate tax rates, stronger property rights etc. would produce in the US, it would mostly be more economic growth and opportunity, and in some cases even more equality.
