oh and there's also the fact that they called themselves socialists?

Irrelevant. 

North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
China calls itself the People's Republic of China.
East Germany was called the Democratic Republic of Germany.
Cuba is called the Republic of Cuba.

Just because they call themselves something, doesn't mean they are.

As I already mentioned the also had the word worker in their official name but they weren't pro worker.  As soon as they gained power they outlawed all unions, order a wage freeze and made worker strikes illegal not something I would call being pro worker.
