You Can't Have War Without Collectivism

Nazi Germany was Socialist
They were beaten by one of the most collectivist US presidents ever

Collectivist power comes from a common goal. At best that goal is to provide services for the people, with only the inefficiencies of a monopoly. At worst, and more commonly, it villainizes an "other" against which the collective must unite to defeat. At best that other is an abstract daemon, such as an environmental problem. At worst, it is a foreign people easily and advantageously scapegoated for the benefit of the leaders.

Concomitantly, history teaches us that any people that does not defend itself will be conquered.
