The thread of this title is misleading. What actually happened was socialism was a response to capitalism. Capitalism would be the system that the people felt was not cutting it.

So the movement gained momentum both here and in Europe. The socialist movement gained ground during the first part of the 1900's here in America. The members grew by leaps and bounds that it changed the shape of our government, which is to say we went to the left. Todays economic blessings is the result of that movement because movements do not stop on a dime. We are now turning around which isn't going to benefit America the move to the right only benefits the wealthy so America is heading for a cliff and off into the abyss.

Of course there are many whom would like to see socialism fail and go out of their way to make sure it fails ie Raygun murdering people in Latin America, the murder of the peasants in Vietnam, three goverments getting pounded on, Iraq, Haiti, Venezuela all of them are or were close to socialism.
