"During the cold war there was a massive amount of propoganda against socialism spread by conservatives who didn't want to lose their control over business and government."
Nope.

The idea that somehow the world owes you a living because you exist.
A system that is built on fantasy and economic ignorance.
A system of selfishness and envy disguised as equality and compassion.
Where the Government controls the means of production and turns everyone into slaves for The State.
The delusion that you can cure poverty by making everyone else poorer.
An idea so bad that they ignore the obvious drawback.
The Rich can just pack up their businesses and their wealth and move somewhere else causing the country's wealth to run out.

Something which very few people understand but toss around like they do.
Rarely ever distinguished, socialism can be one of two things:
An economic system where, in theory, the workers own the industry collectively
An economic policy, in a capitalist system, where taxes are used to fund social services such as schools, roads & highways, welfare, and so on.
Since no one can distinguish these two, socialism has absolutely no meaning anymore whatsoever.

Scandinavia is NOT socialist: it is CAPITALIST with socialist economic policies.
People of the likes of Bernie Sanders don't understand the difference between social democracy and democratic socialism.
