It’s politically profitable to call things socialist or communist, as Americans have a distaste for both.

2% tax raise for the top 1% of wage earners? Socialist. Gets used to flip votes in the elections.

Even very poor Americans who would literally have a much higher standard of living under socialism are taught to despise it.
