Sorry no that's an obvious Americanism (American right-ism).

Nobody else on the planet says SOCIALISM with the Bill O'Reilly sneer and think that's a debate-ender.

Try to imagine a Chinese or a Frenchman saying that. Doesn't work. That's because in other countries "socialism" isn't a swear word.

I have visited plenty of other countries where people have expressed similar sentiments towards "socialism", Canada included. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering responding to this comment, it's so absurd and clearly blindingly biased. As if literally no one on earth other than Americans could dislike socialism that much.

I would imagine it's not very popular in ex-Iron Curtain countries, for instance.

It mostly is in the UK, amongst certain people anyway.
