It Is Socialism?

I have heard most repub candidates call most Dem plans as a socialized plan. Just another use of the fear card. Not one of these plans are a socialized plan, with the possible except of Kucinich. The use of the word socialism is just a use of fear to dissuade the public. Actually they are trying to equate it to Stalinism, and not socialism. They are not the same thing. Health care has become popular and has become a major issue and now they, the Repubs, are trying to equate it to the policies of Stalin and the old USSR. This should work well because too many are still fearful of the word, socialism.
