As far as I know Revolutionary Catalonia came the closest to that.

That said, I don't really care that dictatorships after dictatorships called themselves socialist and communist, people's this and that, they - as good populists always do - subverted the people and their ideas.

Just as North Korea is a "democratic" "republic".

Mistake not this nitpicking for defense of communism. I don't think it makes any economic sense to strip away savings and investment and everything else connected to those for compulsory ownership of your workplace.

So yes, bait and switch is what populism is. And it worked and continues to work wonderfully independent of political leaning/orientation.
