No. I mean, it's just changing the definition of socialism to mean "having a modern welfare state." Which doesn't fit any definition of socialism that I know of. Germany even has a socialist political party, but they aren't in power and don't control anything.
Republicans long ago changed the definition of Socialism to "having any form of welfare"
And then changed the definition of Communism to "being Socialist."
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
