Most people haven't a clue about what "communism" or "socialism" actually are. For example, did you know that Lenin did not think that Stalin was a communist? That the Soviets did not consider China communist? In fact, communism was never a threat to the U.S. because our history was not one that accepted it. The Soviets weren't real threats because they had enough trouble controlling the regions they had troops in and they didn't get along with China. In fact Stalin can be thought of more as yet another Czar and Mao yet another Emperor than Marxists.
It is the complications of reality that the right-wing has trouble with. They like empty platitudes, such as "freedom", "liberty", and "communist" because they mean whatever they want. Good, bad is about all they can handle.

Socialism is just another class driven society which is why I'd rather not be considered one. Its just in socialism the worker takes the place of the capitalist. Most first world nations are liberal in the American sense which isn't really socialism. Communism, of course, is the ideal society. Classless and wealth shared. I'd not mind being called a communist but a very long time ago I decided there was no chance a society such as that would ever emerge. The best that can be hoped for is a balance in the power the classes have.
