‘Socialist’ is used nearly like a swear word by the right wing. It’s pretty much the worst insult in their mind, and they throw it out to describe liberals and their policies as often as possible.

Gallup conducted a poll recently asking Republicans how they viewed each of the following: small business, free enterprise, entrepreneurs, capitalism, big business, the federal government and socialism.
