"Apparently you are unfamiliar with the meaning of "socialism.""

Perhaps you can give a definition of socialism that excludes the present administration's socialist acts enacted.

Here is the dictionary definition: A social system in which the producers (the proletariat) possess both political power and the means of producing and distributing goods. It is NOT welfarism which is the appropriate term to describe the US. Private ownership of the means of production is impossible under socialism see Marx, Karl.

Correct terminology is crucial in constructing valid arguments.

Calling your political opponent "socialist" is almost meaningless.
