Socialism FTW?

This is really a "gotcha" thread. For that, I apologize. But when I saw the headline I had to post it. So the thread doesn't blow up, can any liberal leaning poster explain to me where the "disconnect" is from socialist to progressive? I argued with a friend up in Mass. about this tons of times, and we keep getting to the fact that his value system is arbitrary and coercive, but "fair". He adamantly believes that fair is decidable by the body politic. I don't get it.

Edit: By disconnect, I mean, at what point do we decide that the loss of freedom isn't fair but leading us towards Eastern Germany rather than beautiful France? At what point does economically inefficient translate to corrupt governance? Etc.
