If what is happening across the American political landscape is not a precursor to socialism, what is?

Upon looking at the definition of this term it is evident that our government, controlled by the Democrats, is actively working to put in place a system in which more and more of our industries will be controlled and/or owned by the government. This plainly places us as being in a stage of society in Marxist theory where we are to be transitioned from capitalism to communism. Anyone else not very happy about this train of events?
