Like universal healthcare or affordable high quality education - those are socialist ideas, deeply against the fundamental American values (or something).

present dissocial iron-rule amuuurican values of at least 71 million amuuuricans, are "get rich or die trying, and if you die in the process then good riddance to ya." we're the ultimate disposable nation in that we dispose of human beings for no good reason. de tocqueville and steinbeck had us fools pegged, so many of us lulled with the conceit of being merely "temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Those two are alright with most I'm sure. What they don't want is outright communism. Where the rich are heavily taxed to give millions a free ride.

I haven't seen a downright communist on the scene for quite a while. Have you?

Why can't people just learn what words like communism, socialism, marxism and Nazi actually mean?!

Because there is the dictionary meaning, the practical meaning, the colloquial meaning, and the situational meaning.

Well because all these people now who worked at the elections are signing affadavids that there was fraudelant sabotage, I feel that they just need to redo the election, as this one has been tainted with fruit of the poisoness tree so to speak.
