Euphemism

It seems like socialism is a bad word in the US (well, at least in parts of the US or for people pandering to parts of the US).

The word czar though is totally ok. It is ok to have a bailout czar, just as long as he doesn't do anything too socialist. Even though the word czar basically means king, which is definitely not an ok word in the US. Obviously the positions wouldn't get very far if they were called: Drug King, Copyright King, Bailout King, Terrorism King... Ok, czar is really closer to the word emperor, but same idea.

So isn't it time to just find a foreign word for socialism? I'm not saying the US should become socialist, but it would be nice to be able to discuss ideas that seem socialist. Maybe another good Russian word just to make it extra ironic.
