People may want to spread socialism because they are true believers. Why would socialism not work unless all countries were socialist?But that is the joy of socialism.
It can only work if everyone on the globe participates, so they will stop at nothing till we all think and do the same things cuz it's an idea so good it's mandantory.
Some are true believers while others see it merely as a way to obtain power.
Take Hitler, for example. He had no particular love for socialism. For him, it was just a tool to obtain power.
For you see, Hitler fostered socialism because he feared an uprising like Germany had during WW1 due to the poor living standards during the war. To fix this, he centralized the system and all money went to either the military or the citizens of Germany. In fact, German citizens had a higher standard of living than did citizens in the Ally nations such as the UK and the US and definitely better than the USSR. Shrug, it worked. Hitler bought off a war weary populace steeped in genocide. It is a warning of future such buy offs that will more than likely go unnoticed.
Socialism has the added benefit of ending a free economy, something that tyrants simply love so they gravitate towards it.
