"frick" is slang and used in situations where its intended meaning is easily decipherable by the context of the statement.

For instance:

Socialism royally fricks up an economy.

Anyone who believes that the a central command economy is preferable to a market economy is fricking retarded.

These stupid fricks don't know an ounce of history when the advocate socialism.

I could go on.

So frick is used as a spin-off from it's intended meaning? The same way socialist programs can be a spin-off from it's defined meaning?

I'm not advocating for full socialism. However, some socialist programs are good for our country. Just like full blown capitalism is not good.

Everything in moderation.

Nope. Clearly you missed the entire point. Socialism, or any political/economic ideology is not slang.

"Socialist programs" would be industries completely owned by the U.S. government who production, distribution, and consumption schemes were controlled by Washington.

We don't have those.

frick is colloquial. Its uses are varied due to the evolution of language. The definition and usage of a word like socialism - or capitalism, or Georgism, fascism, whatever - has ideological and practical implications. So their functions, as words, are utterly different.
