It's not a knee jerk to the extreme end, it is the direction that we are heading.
Look at how much the federal government has expanded in the last 100 years. How much more the government controls the lives of it's citizens. Do you think that trend will ever stop? I don't see how short of tearing it down and starting over.
Socialism is just a slippery and irreversible slope to totalitarianism. It is the nature of bureaucracies. The longer they exist the more power they draw to themselves until words like Freedom and Liberty become hollow catch phrases.
