Socialism/communism is the Right's word for any government programs that help all the people
Such as Social Security, Medicare, education, public transit. The ignorant Trump-loving dolts throwing around accusations of communism wouldn't know a real communist from a dead flounder.
The billionaire-corporate class want to strip America of all beneficial public programs. They want American working people to be reduced to poverty so they will be forced to take any job, no matter how low paying or how bad the working conditions.

The further irony to this is the first social programs were introduced in Europe by conservatives. They were scared shitless of a socialist revolution.
So the idea of the social safety net was to make the suffering of the lower classes just a little better so they would not revolt and nothing more.
