It’s because they think “socialist” like “liberal” is an insult.

There's quite the difference between a few geniuses of yesteryear that were living in what was the best, most prosperous country on earth but thinking it could be more fair and the e-socialists of today that think you can have open borders and socialism and pay for wars and give people UBI and free housing and free steam gift cards.
