I remember talking with a co-worker who was saying he would never support socialism. I asked him if he believed in public health care and he said yes, then the same with public schools for his kids, public libraries, parks, our labour union!, and the public transit company that we worked for, and he supported them all but still hated socialism.
I don’t just don’t know how people can thing that all of these things are good and important and still not see that they are socialist programs even when it is pointed out to them.
Maybe your co-worker knew that socialism ain’t the same thing as social welfare programs and instead a socioeconomic system where the economy is controlled by the working class, not the capitalists. And then maybe your co-worker was a class traitor for understanding that and still disliking it.

No, that’s too many maybes, they probably are just propagandized.
American society and media propagandize a lot against socialism. He has just heard it’s bad so many times he believes it without knowing why.
It’s like people believing god is good because they never read the bible. How many Christians know that the law of god condones slavery, and allow beating slaves to death, as long as they don’t die the same day. 🤡
Everyone loves socialism, until they hear it called socialism.
