Whenever someone tells me they are a socialist, I ask if they are an International Socialist or a National Socialist.
I do the same thing. NAZI = National socialist workers Party I also say USSR = Union of Soviet socialist Republics.
Another tidbit: During WW II, Stalin and his crowd never asked their people to fight for Communism. They always said defend and fight for “Mother Russia”. Then when the war was over they went back to mentioning Communism.
When someone tells me that they are a socialist,I tell them that they have heart of a murderer.
International Socialism vs. Socialism in one country
