So then you disagree with the OP? Then, good for you.
No, the goal of modern US liberalism is not "socialism" (as you have defined it). It is more like the systems you will find in ...

The goal of modern US liberalism is to create something more like Denmark or Canada. Not the Soviet Union or Cuba.
Then you'd better quit claiming that you're gunning for socialism. What you are rooting for is a hobbled capitalist compote with extremely high taxation.
I'm not sure, actually. But I do know that most Republicans support socialism in one form or another--that's how this country got Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump.

I, personally, never claimed I was gunning for socialism.
The nations ...
Denmark
Finland
Netherlands
Canada
Sweden
Norway
Ireland
New Zealand
Belgium
... are all nations with "hobbled capitalism with extremely high taxation." In fact, Denmark has a whopping 45.9% of GDP going to taxation! And yet ... it's a damn nice country!
People like you are going to have to learn that high levels of taxation does not mean somewhere is going to turn into Venezuela.
