How popular was socialism and communism before the Soviet Union came into existence?

>> No.2050463

Communism wasn't well known and people looked down upon socialism.

>> No.2050467

1848 Revolution, Paris Commune 1871, 1904 Russian Revolution maybe I guess, Spartacist Revolt 1919. So I guess there was considerable support for the ideology. IMO the Soviet Union started in 1922 after the civil war was won btw.

>> No.2050469

Popular, but more obscure. There were plenty of small experimental socialist/communist societies during the 19th century. I don't think any survived for an extensive period, though.

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism.

All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.

Moderately.
Most of the ones who actually took off were "reformers who had split from the marxists" who mostly pushed for a lot of social security and worker's rights.

And yet it didn't catch on until eighty years later.

Normal people did in the US, anyways. I couldn't care less about Europe, but I'm pretty sure business owners would have too.
