The Nazis were elected democratically and the Soviets otherthrew a tyranny so their beginnings were justified however after a few years they created vicious totalitarian regimes. How did this happen?
Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia (in b4 meme) followed the national socialist and socialist republic systems of government respectively. Socialism and all systems of government related to it such as democratic socialism, communism, social democracy and anarchism are all about eliminating economic freedom, the inevitable result of which is that the same group of people in control of the nation's laws are in control over the nation's economy aswell giving them the perfect opportunity to enact laws the people would ordinarily agree to.
Even the worst crony capitalism is preferable to socialism. A crony capitalism asks only that you trade your labour for food and shelter, whereas a socialism demands that you hand over your freedoms.
