That's because in modern (at least US) parlance, "socialism" can mean anything from "mild redistribution of resources with taxation and spending" to "Stalinist purges". Clearly the violence is on one side of that spectrum (unless you believe taxation is theft and inherently violent, which... I've heard is a belief). It's almost a meaningless word these days.
