If you're referring to Latin American countries, maybe it's because for decades the US imposed fascist dictators on them. In all such countries where the US stuck its nose where it didn't belong, there WERE democratic movements that opposed the fascists but the US armed and trained their stooges and abetted them in their crimes.
Cuba is a prime example: when the US supported Batista, the people of Cuba wanted democracy. Peaceful protests were met with violence and democratic opponents of the government were shot or imprisoned.
Why do you and others think violence and terrorism or communism and islamic fascism are the first things the pro-democracy and anti-government people tried? Another good example is Iran: IRAN WAS A DEMOCRACY until 1953 when the US helped overthrow it and installed the Shah. The Iranians turned to islamic fascism because democratic opposition wasn't supported by the US.
Hell, in 1979 there was a democratic movement ready to take over instead of the extremists, but Carter refused to fund and support them. The reasons? One, they were democratics socialists (just like the 1953 pre-Shah democracy), and two, they wanted the Shah put on trial.
The facts are readily available for anyone who makes even a token effort to find them. The problem is, nobody wants to look because the facts disagree with the majority opinion, AND because the facts make the US culpable for crimes committed by others they supported.
The US was the biggest cause of communism during the Cold War and is the biggest cause of islamic fundamentalism since 1950. And now that a democratic socialism is spreading, first from Nicaragua in the 1980s but now in Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile and to other countries, the US is VERY scared because their economies are strong enough to withstand US harassment (Nicaragua's Sandanistas were not) and they are politicially united, even united with countries that lean right politically.

I don't think "socialistic" is a word. Is it? I've never heard it. I wonder if your question references socialist countries? I've heard of them. And I guess "us" is Americans. I don't think people in countries with soicalist government systems "hate" Americans, but I do think they often strongly object to American policies. The people of many "socialist" countries, like Sweden for example, do not "hate" very easily. Theirs is a different culture. These countries have strong gun control laws, very low murder rates, national health care systems and no death penalty. They're very advanced, and advancement means wise and civil, not (generally) hateful.

Many conservatives, and non conservatives, might like a voucher software so as that they are able to take money they have already paid in assets taxes to assist public faculties (no selection there) and stick to it in the direction of sending their teenagers to non-public faculties. I have no teenagers, yet I nevertheless help faculties with my assets taxes because it rather is in all of society's terrific pastime to have little ones who can study and write as adults (a point particularly performed in Public faculties right this moment). interior the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts, the Liberal run state government won't enable this. As for issues like infrastructure, police, hearth dept, etc, there are some issues that are in basic terms greater clever under one roof, yet we can disagree on how pervasive this desires to be in our society. a level of social classes are suited and helpful, socialism isn't.

Because of a radical difference in ideologies. They feel that the American way of life leads to too much segregation in the society, that poor people are oppressed, that the social gap is way too large, and that America is acting as if somebody gave it the right to police the world (I kinda have to agree with the last one there).

Our culture in America is one of risk and growth, not just social justice. Socialist countries are jealous of us and our growth and wealth.
Capitalism works even though it isn't socially fair.

Many countries dislike America. Most Americans will tell you that it's because they're jealous or cowards blah blah...
Really it's because of Americas track record on foreign policy.
Nothing to do with socialism.
