My Grandfather went through the Bolshevik Revolution in Ukraine.
He said their slogan was “For The People” and then they came and took everything the middle class had. Their food and livestock. (And my Grandfather’s white stallion that rrreally pissed him off. His first job in the US was in the WWI army.)
Incidentally, “For The People” was Kamal Harris’s campaign slogan.
Speaks volumes.
Before they became Bolsheviks, they were known as social democrats. And I guess it made no difference that the Nazis were socialists. Sure they might have deviated from the “noble principals” of socialism once they gained power, but power does that every time. And socialism requires that the government have total power to collect and redistribute. They do very well with the collecting part; it’s the redistributing part that gets them every time.
