afaik _only_ in the US? or are there any countries where the socialist bogey man is used this way by countries without a working social safety net?
- Paying 20% of your paycheck to insurance = good capitalist affordable.
- Paying 4% of your paycheck to Medicare = bad communist too expensive
Americans are the most propagandized people in the world.

the US agitprop machine doesn't even distinguish between communist and socialist - both terms are used interchangeably.
Bernie Sanders and how he is viewed is a great example here: his policies would have been considered moderate in socialist Europe of the 60ies/70ies (and especially in the often cited "well working" model of socialist Sweden, Denmark Norway).
