Propaganda.
People don't know what socialism actually means because of propaganda...
you can ask someone who is against "socialism" whether they like it by talking about elements of it without explicitly mentioning the word "socialism" and they will probably agree with it.
People don't know what socialism actually is beyond literally defining it as bad and scary. It's insane how uneducated and stupid most of us are.
