Not to be that guy… But Americans have always been partially socialist. That’s the reason child labor is not supposed to be a thing, your work week isn’t 60 - 80 hours long without overtime, you have things like vacation days, sick leave, agencies in charge of stamping out food and drug adulteration, OSHA codes for safe workplaces, a public school system, public libraries, banking regulations… And a very long list beyond that.
Do you think any of these things are naturally occuring under a capitalist system? These were the fights you can map to specific socialist movements of the past.
But who am I kidding anybody who unironically starts complaining about Communists is so far up McCarthy’s ass all they can smell is grave rot.

Feeling so vindicated, Americans are massively becoming not just socialist, but outright communist

^^^ How to say you don’t know what communism is, or the history of it, without saying so
