Where has all the money in the world gone?

I've noticed that socialism is definitely a pejorative term in the US - which dismays me as a socialist-leaning Canadian. It's like economic Godwin - call someone a socialist and effective discourse just kind of grinds to a halt.

It's the modern "communism", without invoking the spirit of McCarthy.

It's a pejorative among conservatives, not among liberals.

Ironically that liberal is also pejorative in the USA

Also only among conservatives; don't paint everyone with that brush. They are only half the USA.
