It's difficult to answer that, because "socialism" is such a broad term with so many different meanings.

I would say that, at its core, socialism is about state control of the economy and society, and in that case, yes, socialism is un-American, since it is the antithesis of the "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" that were the founding ideals of the United States.

Of course, no government of the United States has actually cared about those ideals in the slightest and it's mostly got worse as time has gone on.
