I think to be accurate, so-called "nudism" was not being "practiced", before it started making news and forming organizations. It was purely normal to be naked at times and especially at the beach or in group showers.
Plus, why be surprised that the dark side of our human existence participated, when Pope John Paul II, endorsed nakedness as simply our natural state and when not associated with a sexual goal and/or not predatory, it was perfectly acceptable.

I didn't need to read through the musty pages of Karl Marx to have discovered nudism. It just comes naturally. Americans think more individualistically vis-a-vis Europeans. Therefore organizations are not imposed on us, although we have seen more of it since the 1930s, as in gov't.
Traditional Americans approach nudism quite differently, through voluntary associations, as opposed to highly organized socialist movements, save for AANR and TNS. If someone had tried to push nudism on me in the past, I'd purposely not become a nudist because of that pushiness. However, it was my own realization of the desirability of being nude when I was just a boy. I didn't join anything until a few years ago, and not because it was a fad, or a movement. It was my own decision. I had no forethought of AANR and TNS. I had never read anything they printed of posted on a website.
If there were no nudist movement, I could always advertise and let people know that I was interested in forming a club, and that could very easily accepted of rejected by the reader of that ad. If no one responded, then the concept did not work. Simple.
"Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his (and her) conduct."

As I pointed out earlier in this thread, Nudism around the Baltic and in most of northern East Europe grew out of the villages' communal baths and saunas. Thru the Ashkenazic "Mikva" it held on, but did not succeed in transferring to America, where indoor personal plumbing was available.
