Challenge

Some debate in the comments section over at the esteemable John Scalzi's site has reminded me of something that really bugs me.

Can an American please explain to me why socialism is intrinsically bad, while keeping in mind that socialism is not communism and communism is not the USSR? It's always thrown around as if it's the second brother to fascism or something, but nobody ever backs this up.
