Various governments around the world in the past 100 years have claimed to be socialist, but they have generally been opposed by some capitalist countries through the means of external military conflict and internal subversion. This has in turn caused many socialist countries (and, necessarily, the most long-lasting ones) to become externally militaristic and internally repressive (or at least find themselves in an uncomfortable alliance with such countries). Capitalist countries would say that this militarism and repressiveness of these socialist countries is inherent to the ideology of socialism, and that capitalist countries are merely acting defensively or benevolently in response to it. History doesn't resolve into easy lines of cause and effect, though, so we have to untangle the complicated context of individual events, like the 1973 Chilean coup d'état: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d'%C3%A9tat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d'%C3%A9tat
