This irrational fear of socialism from some politicians in the US looks so bizarre from Canada, a country with universal healthcare and some kind of social net that is still sadly very much under the grasp of destructive capitalism.
Are those politicians terrified the people could be healthy, fed, safe, and happy? What exactly terrifies them here?

Social control. Convince the workers basic rights, safety at work regulation, union membership and decent health and social care are evil then the govt doesn't need to pay for them and the politicians and their wealthy pals pay less tax. Or none.
