Well, it got corrupted when USSR was created (and also Chinese People's Repulic), and people suffered under its boot.
- proverbialbunny 6y agoHitler called his party socialist too. I'm not sure if anyone fell for it in the US then and it's really a more 1940s type corruption. I'm probably saying the obvious but fun fact: These communist and fascist countries called themselves socialist and advertised themselves as such because it was socialists that fought against them the most. Socialists were the opposite to their authoritarian ways, so they lied to the people saying they were the same as their competitor.
