Socialism relies on [[scapegoat]]ing to build a constituent base. One of the most well known socialist parties of the 20th century was the [[Nazi Party|National Socialist German Workers' Party]] (Nazi Party), headed by [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref>http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/adolf_hitler.htm</ref> Together both [[Communism]] and [[Nazism]] are considered [[totalitarian]] or [[statist]], subverting the rights of individuals to a [[collective]] of a [[single party]]. Nazism deviates from orthodox Marxist theory in substituting racial and ethnic conflict for [[class warfare]] with the same [[revolution]]ary fervor. Nazism substituted "[[Jews]]" as the oppressor class, responsible for all societal woes, rather than "the rich" or "[[Republican]]s" as modern leftists do.
