    People that say the USSR was socialism isnt true, in the words of leon trotsky 'the horrors (of the regime) came not from socialism, not from communism, but from stalinism. That is the irresponsible despotism of buerocracy over the people'

    But no it is not promote bad behavior. Its only an ideology, there are various other factors within the ideological stratum that dictate 'immoral norms'
    Did Trotsky infiltrate The West?

    I'd argue that Capitalism teaches much worse behavior that greed is good

    The fact that you're even asking this says it all.

    I'd say socialism itself does not and will not encourage any additional crime, the rate would not differ. However the transition TO a complete socialist state will certainly result an increase as the majority of the population experience a drop in wealth, causing anger which will lead to crime.
