Most Americans are misinformed on a variety of subjects, but most likely on socialism because of all the conservatives in our country. They hate the concept of socialism and misinform the public about it because they do not want it happening. Kind of like how bush brought down the world trade centers..
Socialism was not a well-elaborated political theory at that point.

Cold War-era propaganda has tainted the definition of socialism in the minds of many Americans, due to the Soviet Union and its allies being adversaries of the United States and because these countries maintained authoritarian forms of government. Furthermore, socialism is sometimes equated with various social policies, including social welfare programs and regulation out of confusion and anti-socialist propaganda. The biggest reason this attitude has not changed is because socialists are not organized enough to challenge the existing misconceptions, and socialists fail to present a concrete definition of socialism when promoting their views. Socialist views are rarely expressed in the media due to institutional bias.

Conservative Republicans are opposed to socialism because it is not why the founding fathers fought the American revolution. Another answer is that Socialism divides the wealth of the wealthiest into wealth by the common good. Thus, there is no competition for the wealth because everyone is guaranteed of it. The fear here is that no production will occur when you are given wealth without work. The government sphere follows this strata... Left Communism<---Socialism<---Democracy--->Republicanism--->Fascism Rule by Everyone<---Rule by the fittest--->Rule by 1
Good. Most Americans think that social programs = socialism, which isn't the case, but I'm answering as if it were. Social programs are necessary to undo the destruction of our infrastructure caused by rampant, unchecked capitalists. Actual Socialism would also be good for this country, but because of the effectiveness of anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, the vast majority of American citizens disdain the idea of socialism without even knowing what it is.
There was no African form of Socialism.
