Pretty much all of them.
Perhaps the abortion industry should be heavily regulated and taxed, with criminal penalties for doctors caught selling baby body parts for cash.
Other than that, if government got out of health care, it would be totally affordable in about three years (as the market corrects).
Get government out of college educations and all the big Ivy League colleges will slash their prices in order to get students who would be paying out of their own pockets.
Get government out of energy, and gasoline goes to about 50 cents a gallon.
Some things, government should have a hand in. Those outlined in the Constitution.

That is not true at all. Socialism (an economic system) and democracy (a political system) are not linked together at all. It's a lie that Marxists such as Iola peddle all the time in order to justify holding their archaic views. As for racism, there were plenty of progressive leftists during America's Progressive Era, such as Wilson, who adhered to eugenics and other racial platforms.

Hitler was capitalism's last-ditch defence, and anyone who thinks German big business backed 'socialism' is either telling fibs or needs his head examined, The second is probably the more likely here, though brainwashing can do wonders with the not-so-clever.
The Nazi party has its roots in the resistance of the Communist uprisings that began after WWI.
They were, at the start an anti-communist party later morphing into a nationalist movement that was pro-big business in order to attain the support of industry leaders.
You people need to read some books.

You're the one who needs to read some books. I'd recommend Ludwig Von Mises, the most brilliant economist in the entire history of the world.
Why was the name of the party changed in 1919 from "The German Socialist Worker's Party" to "The German Workers Party"? There are books written on the subject, if interested pick up "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", by William Shirer, that's a good starting place. Then maybe read "The Third Reich at War," by Richard Evans.
Those books will give you a good start on understanding what happened in Germany in the 1920's to 1944. In many ways it was an anti-communist, anti-socialist movement in which the Government worked for the advancement of all Bavarian Germans (ethnic Germans) while it promoted the inequity for anyone else. It was a reaction to the poverty that ethnic Germans faced, along with other Germans and an attempt to establish superior economic and social benefits for a single class above and beyond the other groups of Germans.
Its what many in the United States except it is not based on ethnicity but generational wealth. It is a pervasive idea that if you are born with certain wealth you are more worthy of certain economic and social benefits. Sometimes this falls out on racial lines, because historically only white Americans had wealth, but I do not believe that in modern day America it is a result of direct racial discrimination.

Over simplified... Nazi Germany was not a capitalist nation, I agree with that, but private industry ownership was retained by private individuals and groups. The government did ultimately gain power to manipulate and bully private industry but never took ownership. This was at best Fascist, but clearly not socialist.
An argument could be made that, if you were an ethnic German (of pure Bavarian ancestry) and not physically handicapped and not of a minority religion, then you fell into a class that was to be protected by the government and if you want to claim that as socialist, okay I can see your argument for that narrow group, but the entire point was to do that at the exclusion of other Germans whos ancestry had also been rooted in Germany for centuries, just not far back enough to suit the majority who were seeking to protect themselves from the poverty of the post WWII era by using the others as slaves to the state.
