Socialism is what most people love, yet some in all but name.

Too right! Social Security, Medicare(though that's been whittled down to glorified insurance company at this point), Medicaid, the Fire Department, trash collection, Food Stamps, all crops grown in the US are subsidized(Fuck You Monsanto!), and literally every paved non-toll road and bridge you use has been built with taxpayer money. Plus more I can't even think of at the moment.
