    Basically we encompass everything as black/white socialism/capitalism

    When pretty much every country (including the United States currently ) implements both.

    And the problem is by demonizing socialism as the main economic structure, politicians basically succeeded in shaming people for any socialist policy they disagree with.

        what you re describing is communism. socialism is another thing

        socialism emphasis on a fair (not necessarily equal) distribution of wealth among citizens. socialist programs and policies can exist alongside capitalism in a society, which is not true in a communist system.
