For example, the conservative word "volunteer" is mentioned only once in the [[ESV]], yet the socialistic word "comrade" is used three times, "laborer(s)" is used 13 times, "labored" 15 times, and "fellow" (as in "fellow worker") is used 55 times.

Admittedly, not all of these are blatantly socialistic terms.  Within the social context of the first century, socialism was far from a developed concept.  Indeed, these words have no direct tie to socialism.  As long as we attempt to proof-text ourselves, we must acknowledge that ''conservative'' words like "freedom" (9 times), "war" (137), or "business" (25 times) also make prominent appearances.
