Because the "socialist" revolutions, were first and foremost national independence movements. The red decoration was nothing more then the "fashion" at the time. Had socialism existed when america declared independence and russia supported the us, the american indepence day would be significantly more hammer & sickled. This is why the vietnam war was so wrong, it was fought by a ex-colony for a colonial power, halucinating a enemy were there actually was just its own history repeating.
