I'm simply identifying reasons why people might be afraid of Socialism (or capitalism with redistributionist tendencies). The American 'Right' is pulling hard away from 'Socialism' but with no clear direction.

The American 'Right' have been denouncing "socialism" for more than 100 years (with only a few years where denouncing communism was louder). Due to "patriotic mindworms", it has become a knee-jerk reaction to denounce anything/everything labeled as "socialism" without knowing what socialism is, or why it might be bad at all: it is the duty of all tribal members to denounce the enemy.

Mantis42 has a good start for you.
