Anglosphere is a sociological/political term used to describe the Anglo establishment and the countries which are under its influence due to cultural roots or political ties. Today this basically means the control of a financial-industrial elite establishment that is shared in between UK, mainly London, and US, mainly Wall Street, with some peripheral other power focuses added. Majority of parts of this cultural/political construct has no say in what happens, like how Scotland, Wales or N Ireland has no say in what happens.

And some parts of this political construct are outright colonies.

Socialism was never practiced in Anglosphere countries. The maximum this social/political construct went as far to implement pro-people policies was during FDR’s term in US, immediately after Ww2 with Eisenhower, and in UK, immediately after Ww2 with Clement Atlee.

Their establishment immediately started hollowing out and reverting these pro-people policies, and it took the form of an outright warfare starting from 1980 with Reagan/Thatcher. What’s worse, these sociopaths exported their religious ideology.

The ‘scary’ Socialism you speak of in other countries, always involves a civil war, an outright war, or even a world war going on in the background. In no small thanks to the very Anglosphere establishment, these countries were always in a case of fighting for their survival.

Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War

Case in point, right at the time of Russian Civil War, ~11 countries under the leadership of Britain had had invaded Russia, helping pro-Tzarist and fascist forces in the Civil War. With weapons, gold, intelligence, even at times, with troops. Forcing nascent Socialist revolution to have to turn schizophrenic to survive in such a sea of treachery, deceit and brutality.

That part of history is always left out when history is told in Anglosphere. Hence, every other Socialism is ‘scary’.

And Anglosphere always leaves out its own evil.

This contributes to a perception of ‘better’.

Its a simple case of the establishment lying, and even going to the extent of creating a false reality in order to stay ‘legitimate’.
