Let's say it does not match what many Americans think of when they hear "socialism". There's no such thing as a "textbook definition" of socialism.
This is a big one when it comes to talking about "socialism".
Bernie Sanders's brand of socialism does not match the textbook definition of socialism. It's still capitalist, but with wealth distribution through government assistance programs and services. Yet when people on the right are criticizing socialism, they're usually criticizing the textbook definition.
It's basically summed up with this meme: https://i.imgur.com/tVB77jV.jpg
We can't debate socialism until we agree on what we mean by "socialism".
