Okay, we get it, Socialism has all sorts of negative connotations, and it puts a terrible taste in some of our mouths. Why is that though? Is it because every self-proclaimed Socialist leader in the past had no clue what they were doing and made a bad reputation for all future self-proclaimed Socialists? One would certainly hope.
Hitler, the eventual leader of the National Socialist German Workers party, or Nazis for short, eradicated many human beings for being something they’re not. The USSR, or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was led at first by Lenin after Red October, was also under the guise of a so called Socialist government.
