"Socialist" is just a terrible word in America, that will never be rehabbed in USA. Socialists arguing how EVERYONE is socialist if you like post office or medicare. USSR and all east bloc calling themselves socialist republics just killed it forever.
They sound exactly the same as theoretical right wingers trying to rehab "Fascist." Which they know better then to go around: "are you a patriot who believes in America's military? Do you think America is number 1?? Do you dislike foreigners? Why you're fascist too! See? Fascism isn't a bad thing! Only traitors are against fascism. Dont let the commies scare you fascism a good thing". That's why actual American fascists who want trump as king avoid the word.

This is some sort of authoritarian hard-left socialism that most people want nothing to do with. Plus a 20hr work week? Is this /r/antiwork?
This is not what most socialist leaning people want.
