They're not using the word "Socialization" the way you are. Back in the Progressive Era, Socialize and Socialization and Socialism were all the same concept. Socializing children meant that the children should beSocialized, rather than learn hot to be social. The Left still doesn't think differently, but most people separated out the idea of "integrating an individual into a society" from "conditioning an individual into a socialist state".
This is one thing that Michael Malice is very right on. The public education system is so broken we spend most of our time trying to de-institutionalize our children out of it. Most people will experience the most regular amount of violence in public schools. We use "this isn't high school" as a pejorative; and the people who long for their high school days are clearly under-developed or stunted people (like Al Bundy).
Libs claim (and wish) that the fundamental human function of socialization can only happen through government channels.
That's because it's true. At least, in a way.
