That is literally the very definition of insensitive. 
I wonder if Mr. Spaeth even knows what socialism is, or if he knows that much of our existing systems of governments, churches, non-profits and even businesses have roots in socialism?
He needs to seek psychiatric help before he hurts someone........
these people aren't even aware of what "socialism" means. Like you said, so many of the services they enjoy, so many of the freedoms they take for granted, have socialist roots. When they hear the word "socialism" they hear, "they're going to take everything from you and give it to illegal immigrants and people who don't want to work". And to them that means people of color, which is where all the racism and hate comes from. Why do they think that? Because they're told that by their "president". Like Trump, they're not willing to educate themselves about the actual benefits of a socialistic society. They could have things so much better but anger and hate are so much easier than working for a better world for all.
And that is a butt-ugly face! 
I vaguely recall when they started the "don't you think you can spend your dollars better than the government can?" bullshit, and a generally anti-government, anti-tax tone in their discourse. That was a foundation for cutting taxes for the wealthy which has been the root foundation for much of Republican policy as long as I can recall, beginning in the 60s.
But, in order to pass huge tax cut bills, they had to convince our public that taxes and government are evil and then lie to us that their tax cut bills were for the middle class. What a scam, and they've gotten away with it since Reagan. Since then, they've eased another knife into our backs - that of privatizing everything and hence their massive war on anything related to socialism. As we all know, that's nothing but a ruse to line pockets of their funding billionaires.
Maybe we should all corner a Repug and ask them: "What if all our highways were privatized? If so, we might pay a toll and drive 10-miles on a nice highway owned by Company "A". Next, we pay a smaller toll and drive 20-miles on gravel and potholes on a section owned by Company "B". Next, we have to take a 40-mile detour of a 20-mile stretch owned by Company "C" because a section is washed out and the company is entering bankruptcy. In that same week, our kid can't go to school because Company "D" can't make their debt payments and Wall Street has captured all their cash.
We could go on and on, but you get my point that it's all smoke and mirrors by the billionaire class to own and control more and more of our lives from cradle to grave.
Thanks for opportunity for a much-needed rant......
My poor dog looks at me like I'm a raging lunatic most of the time. I can't watch MSNBC without the poor old girl skulking off to the bedroom to get away from the shouting. I can't leave it bottled up inside. That kind of stuff leads to heart attacks, cancer, and problem dandruff. She gets more than enough love and attention to make up for my occasional TV tantrums though. We all need an outlet, and that's why I'm so thankful for DU.
