That's been my approach with face to face conversations with some of my more right leaning (idiot) coworkers. Never, ever use the word "socialism". It'll scare em off. Describe its components and it's amazing how much of of it they're just on board with cuz it makes sense.

And that's usually where I leave it... hopefully the seed takes root and they realize on their own later that all these awesome sounding things wrapped up into one package is socialism, but if it comes from me they'll reject it immediately.

Tell em you heard Dump is becoming socialist by collecting money from everyone to support the Epstein class. Actually don't use his name at first and say you heard politicians are starting a socialist movement to take everyone's money and redistribute it to the people who own things so it can trickle down again.
