How can Venezuela be socialist if it has a private sector? Where do you draw the line between Norway and Venezuela.

Oh it's just the old american tropes. It got taught to their fathers during the post WW2 and passed on to them, because the enemy were the germans. They really don't know/understand much about economy.

Heck, most of them think socialism=dictatorship.

Well, not quite it's much less about Germany and much more about the Soviet Union (although even before then the elites were demonizing socialism). With the exception of World War II, the American public has been fed propaganda for almost a century now.
