Perhaps because it's about time that the word "socialist" be replaced with the more accurate term, "anti-capitalist." The term "socialist" encourages attempts to define it, and that is anti-democratic. Any attempt to write recipes for the cookshops of the future exhibaits distrust of the working class. That, I believe,is a point shag made some time ago, citing Adorno as her source.
