Hitler was nothing like a socialist. It was the socialists that did most of the work to defeat him.

Regarding property rights, it can't be ignored that capitalist governments take people's land every day, while falsely claiming the resources (fossil fuels, water, and more) are needed for the greater good. The problem is not unique to socialism. There must be a balance between various public and private interests.

One of the reasons the US is collapsing now is that Americans think that decay will be stopped by becoming Fascists and Communists. Americans think the US will be improved by expanding wars, increasing the debt, and adding more tyranny when the reason the USA is crashing is because the US has wars, is in debt, and has a police state.

Americans say that they love freedom, but then they turn around and say they need the government to give them free Obamacare, build a wall, protect the US from Yemen, wiretap their phones, arrest people for feeding the homeless, stop farmers from plowing fields, force people to get rid of dogs, ban vaping, and torture suspects.

Every country has the government it deserves.
