A lot of misconceptions about socialism in the USA are a product of Cold War propaganda. Both Hitler and Stalin were fascists but in order to differentiate ally from enemy in the minds of John Q. Public we called the Soviets communists. Once the war was over and the Soviet Union became our opponents we continued to call them communists out of convenience.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
