i've used this example a million times before but find me one socialist who goes "THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD OWN ALL THE BAKERIES!"

What? This is probably the most common example of socialism in history, state-owned production of bread. What do you think the lines were for in soviet russia?

unless someone is literally going "communism is so cool i love how stalin murdered all those people,"

The problem with this though is that it's implied.

Someone says "oh I don't like mass murder and starvation, I just like all the good stuff that comes from communism". But how do you get there without mass murder and starvation? You don't. So you are implicitly advocating going that route. You think the costs are worth it.

It's like when nationalists want white superiority in the US, they are implicitly advocating for a totalitarian police state that has the authority to kill or imprison anyone. There's no other way to get to the goal.
