Are you asking concerning the theory of total Socialism, or enacting a few Socialist policies?

A few socialist policies, not all-out socialism.
I'm aware of what the definition is. I know what socialism is.
Why are a few socialist things that might be better for the "greater good" threatening your way of life and scaring your children while they sleep.

What do you think, Typhoid?

I think a lot of what you were quoting towards the end is a total load of shit. When people think Socialism, they immediately think Communism. I suppose that is the idea of why they keep saying "socialism", however. You don't need to follow socialism directly to the point to have socialist valus, and some socialist principles.
Nobody's mentioning taking anything away from anyone. Nobody is talking of abolishing private property or anything of the matter.
What is the loss of public healthcare? What is there to lose from representation for the states by population?
I agree, enacting some socialist ideas in a large population will be hard. Not everything, however will be socialized. The main issue, is obviously healthcare. It's nearly ludicrous to have private healthcare with a population as large as the U.S.
I'm not talking about full-blown everybody's completely equal communism. But an everybody-at-least-deserves-to-be-treated-for-their-wounds system.
Double Edit:
And by the way, I'm not looking for quotes, links, definitions. I want to know
your collective personal opinions and
why.
