The reason why they called themselves socialist was to gain support from the working class, as socialist/communist movements were gaining popularity and thus they wanted to siphon votes from them:
I posted links of their policies in my response to o_O.Q, namely privatization. They should be judged based on their actual policies, not their rhetoric. Unless of course you want to consider North Korea democratic because they have Democratic in their official name. |
I'm gonna go by what he said he was versus a group of people who try to rewrite the definitions of commonly recognized words like racist. He implemented socialist policies. If you guys want to say that alot of the EU is socialist when the EU says they are not when they have capitalist economies then you guys say that Hitler wasn't a socialist when he was in a socialist party for many years, it makes me question the definitions of certain words and not trust anything that is said.
