Could it be that the people behind this place just hired the wrong consultants or interns? Did they really mean to name it the Socialist, or is that a poor translation of the Socialite? Like, why on earth wouldn't you call yourself the Socialite instead, given the option?
There are a lot of countries in the world where being called a socialite has more negative connotations than being a socialist! Not least, Scandinavia and large parts of north west Europe…
