Trying to explain how bad "socialist" is considered is a complete and utter waste of time to those who insist on using the word. Its really weird. Those who favor the 'title' seem to be more interested in defending the word than what they think it defines. The battles over this have been going on, here, for a very long time. Every now and then I will dive in when I have nothing better to do but I know from the offset its a complete and utter waste of time.
In other words there are folks determined to use the word even though it does them no favor. Its almost like the logic behind the Anti-vaccers. The difference, however, is that nobody dies.
