Well yeah, 'social' means 'gathering of people', it doesn't even take brains made of moss to understand that. Just like Antifa means anti fascist, and therefore a good message to support. The proof is in the very language used.
national socialism, democratic people's republic of korea...
Is this /s?
If not, you may be too new to this subject to have a real conversation about it.
Names are often used to mislead or disguise. Most countries that call themselves republics are republics. But, if they call themselves "democratic republic", they're almost certainly not democratic. Even worse, if they have both "people's" and "democratic" they're almost guaranteed to be communist countries with no meaningful voting: "People's Republic of China", "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", etc.
It's why the UK renamed the War Office to the Ministry of Defense, and the US Department of War was renamed to the Department of Defense.
Sometimes you can trust names. Antifa really is an anti fascist group. But, the "Active Club" groups are racist groups that were specifically named so that they'd seem innocuous. On the whole, it's probably safest not to trust that the name a group uses truly represents what they believe.
