Worker rights in the USA had been a big issue before WWI and the Russian Revolution.

The USSR was bad because they were neither socialist or communist but an oligarchy bent on maintaining power at all cost -- just like China is today. The people at the top are the aristocrats in revolutionary France.

Workers rights were an issue everywhere in industrialized nations before WWI, it's just that the dam first broke in Russian Empire, with disastrous results. So all other nations took notice and deployed measures to not be the second country to have a proletariat uprising.
