Socialism encompassed a broad spectrum of ideas. It's ignorant to dismiss the entire philosophical concept.
The basic concept was predicated on an informed public, and bottom-up democracy.
I'm in favor of positive ideas.
More North Dakota style public banking to dismantle the banking cartels.
Less Stalin and Mao. Their fraudulent style of fake "socialism" was in practice a military coup.
Support bottom up democracy.
Oppose coups.

Social programs are one thing but socialism is a whole 'nother monster that is about eliminating private ownership of property and choice, a centralization of power and property. Please do not try to conflate regulated capitalism and social programs with outright socialism because we can get into that and it's not gonna be pretty. We can tell the tales of North Korea and Cuba and Cambodia and the USSR and East Germany and all the other atrocities that socialists induced.
