It's funny how Americans on the right throw around the terms socialist and communist without really knowing what they mean. I think it's a throwback to Cold War days when it was so easy to identify the Red Peril in contrast to ourselves. Today anything that wasn't included in a Republican Party platform is a radical lefty idea. The flip side is all the people on the left who use the term fascist without really grasping what a fascist system entails. But our education system avoids controversial subjects like political science and comparative political philosophy, so we can't expect most folks to have any intellectual discipline in the labels they toss around.
