Socialism Wasn't Always a Dirty Word (in the U.S.)

IANAH (I am not a historian), but from my inexpert understanding, socialism as a word got dragged through the mud after Nazi’s cloaked themselves in the word to ride the early twen-cen bandwagon. Would love more detailed info from our more historically read Mutants.

ETA: Also seems like the mid-stage capitalists of the military-industrial complex latched onto said Nazi’s appropriation, and the Stalinist pretense of socialism, during the Cold War.
