As a political theory, 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]].

High taxation to expropriate wealth from the oppressor class is common to all socialist regimes. Because of its core [[anti-democratic]] and authoritarian precepts, socialism is considered [[treason]]ous to [[America]]'s central ideal of [[liberty]].
