a fair amount of American sociological and economic standards are already steeped in socialist services

If you believe this to be true then you don't understand what socialism actually is. You seem to be of the mind that any publicly funded service or welfare is socialist, and I don't blame you for thinking this since it is what the mainstream American political discourse would have you believe.

In short, nine times out of ten, a socialist has absolutely no fucking idea what they’re talking about, but just parroting smug bullshit that they think makes them look edgy and educated.

When you say this immediately after demonstrating that you actually have no idea what you're talking about it's a pretty bad look. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
