Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but socialism has been the big winner over the last half-decade, and gets more popular with each passing year. It is the stock-in-trade of republicans and democrats alike.

The vast majority of people have come to the point where they willingly seek the unearned, yearning to get something for nothing. Or, at least something that someone else must pay for.
