I mean, sure, they made an effort to make people hate all forms of tax and welfare, but the USSR and China have done a fantastic job of making you hate the words socialism and communism.

Hell, even the nazis used the moniker of National Socialists.

Yeah I'd say there might be a bigger problem with leftists trying to associate things like healthcare programs with the word socialism that's holding things back.

Kinda disconnected from reality when you're saying we should do X because X is something failed systems have done. Might be more successful to say we should do X because X is good and it won't make us into a failed state.
