FYI,
[Socialism] was first applied in England to Owen's theory of social reconstruction, and in France to those also of St. Simon and Fourier . . . The word, however, is used with a great variety of meaning, . . . even by economists and learned critics. The general tendency is to regard as socialistic any interference undertaken by society on behalf of the poor, . . . radical social reform which disturbs the present system of private property . . . The tendency of the present socialism is more and more to ally itself with the most advanced democracy. --Encyc. Brit.

Why don't you read what Arnold said?
From Arnold's speech at the Republican Convention:
What I saw in Austria made me anti-communist. What I saw in California made me a free-enterprise, fiscally conservative Republican. Republican principles are what built California into the Golden State.
I came to America 35 years ago as an immigrant. By working playing by the rules, my immigrant dreams came true. I want other peoplhard and e to have the same chances, the same opportunities. I am a Republican because of what Ronald Reagan said – government bureaucrats can never substitute for millions of individuals working night and day to make their dreams come true.
That's what being a Republican means.
Let me tell you what being a conservative means to me.
I'm a conservative because I believe communism is evil and free enterprise is good.
I'm a conservative because Milton Friedman is right and Karl Marx was wrong.
I'm a conservative because I believe the government serves the people; the people don't serve the government.
I'm a conservative because I believe in balanced budgets, not budget deficits.
I'm a conservative because I believe the money that people earn is their money – not the government’s money.
And when you look at this driver's license outrage, I'm a conservative because I believe in the rule of law not in political pandering.
The driver's license issue is not about race; it's about law.
It's about a fair playing field. It's about living by the rules.
That's why people come to this country – because our laws mean something.
As governor, I promise you – our laws will mean something.
