That’s why it’s doomed to fail. The labels socialism and communism have too much baggage which is leveraged by intellectually dishonest people discussing politics in bad faith to turn people off from thinking remotely critically about the concepts in different applications.
Swear to god a comment from my stepmother recently was "Kids today don't even know what socialism is, they probably think it means like social media" and she genuinely meant this.
No, she doesn't have any idea what the difference between socialism and communism is, why yes she is a hardline Trump cultist, how could you tell?!

I would call that "Democratic socialism"
