Without trivialising the holocaust and in no way intending to show disrespect?

Forms of socialism are used today in quite a few first world countries. Socialism does not mean no free enterprise whatsoever, it simply is regulated a tad more. Most of the world's developed countries are considered socialist to different levels. Truth be told, the only country who wasn't was the USA. You could argue the USA overall had lower levels of unemployment and greater economic strength though. The successful forms of socialism are not the ones used by the communists or by governments in latin america though. I don't think the fascists were socialist though. They had a national socialism thing but it was very vague in meaning. many of it's aspects hardly had to do with actual economic ideology.
