| − | As a political theory, socialism relies on scapegoating to build a constituent base. For example, that "the rich," or "Jews," or "millionaires and billionaires," or "the top 1%" are responsible for all of humanities ills. Socialism targets the youth of a nation and people without life experience using naive, simplistic, and "feel good" slogans ("Medicare for All," for example) that on the surface seem to be practical, yet once in power, Socialists compel compliance with [[authoritarian]] decrees (the "individual mandate" and "shared responsibility contribution" for example) suppress criticism, censor [[free speech]], silence or exterminate opposition in order to maintain power for themselves. There is nothing [[democracy|democratic]] about socialism, and terms such as [[democratic socialism]] or [[social democracy]] are [[oxymoron]]s that are typical of Marxist "double speak" and "double think." | + | As a political theory, socialism relies on scapegoating to build a constituent base.

Nazism deviates from orthodox Marxist theory in substituting racial and ethnic conflict for [[class warfare]]. Nazism substituted "[[Jews]]" as the oppressor class, responsible for all societal woes, rather than "the rich," "[[Republican]]s," or "white males" as modern leftists do. The [[Second World War]] was a life and death struggle between two [[leftwing]] interpretations of socialism - both atheistic and subverting the rights of individuals to the state, one considering "equality" to apply only to members of a nation or race, the other [[multicultural]] and [[globalist]]. | | 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 the [[collective]] of a [[single party]].
