Socialism in political theory is the idea that, at minimum, some systems should be owned by the collective - that's it. The Road system in the US is largely a socialist project, for reference. USPS was also a socialist project before it was privatized. So is our now mostly defunded education system. Our fucking amazing national park system was also a socialist project to create jobs during the great recession. And the only reason that these things are going downhill is because we've defunded them.
Other things socialists want would be federally funded healthcare, a federally maintained train system, college being funded by US taxes, etc.
Yes, stalinism, communism, and Maoism are socialist ideologies. So is social democracy, the Nordic model, and various others.
You're brainwashed based on your reaction to that word.
Socialism is really broad. It's not just that (but yea it starts with it), but "so socialist" indicates the more "strict" or left-wing versions of socialism
