Socialism significantly lowered internal competion between people and as a consequence they became more trusting. If you look at Soviet leaders who were born and raised pre-revolution, they were very far from trusting the West.
This is an interesting theory. Is there any literature on it?
Blackshirts and Reds is a good starting place I think
I was going to say Parenti touches on this in Blackshirts and Reds.
