My main point is that many Americans react violently to the word 'socialist'. The word has been transformed into a threat trigger. That makes no sense.

America isn't socialist to the point of collective ownership of industries. But we have - and value - and can't live without - some other important pieces of what can broadly be referred to as socialism. We own our government together - equally.

In my generation, the nuclear war generation, the words Union of Soviet Socialist Republics had its sway

Yeah. That was a state capitalist economy and had nothing to do with socialism.

Sort of like American democracy. Oh. It’s a term, it’s just got squat-diddley to do with democracy.

What if the majority, in democratic spirit, vote "slavery"?

A good constitution shouold be there to prevent it.
