I think it is more likely that socialists and communists and even Nazis were
probably more misguided then deliberately dishonest. Humans usually tend to
believe in what they are doing, no matter how obviously wrong it seems to
others. Where disagreements arise, it is human nature to assume the other
side is deliberately being dishonest. "Never attribute to conspiracy that
which is adequately explained by stupidity."
