A centrist to me isn't somebody who sits on the fence over big issues but is usually more likely to be open to ideas coming from either side instead of dismissing them out right because of the letter next to the name. But often once they do decide which side they agree with on any given issue they tend to hold firm on that belief...sort of like a person who is maybe pro gun and pro choice or fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
Anyway I actually know a lot of socialists...I especially knew a lot of them when I was younger and in college but I think the ideology is often so at odds with our way of life as they grow older they simply adapt to the system and "socialist" is slowly replaced with the much broader "liberal"
