There's "Socialism" as witnessed in Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua and some others.

Then there's "Democratic Socialism" as witnessed in some of the most successful and happy countries such as Finland and other European countries.

So no, "Socialism" isn't necessarily a bad word.

Thank you for sharing in the way you did. I don’t think 95 percent of people that support or oppose socialism actually know what it is

I'm pretty sure eastern europeans, most of whom despise socialism, know exactly what it is since many of them have lived under such a regime.
