We also don't spend 2 trillion a year on defense. More like half a trillion. The bulk of the US budget is spent on socialist programs (medicaid, medicare, social security).
The Croatian allies of the National Socialists during WW2 have the distinction of killing the highest % of their people in history of governments killing their own citizens. Full stop. They bumped off 7-*% of their population per year during the Nazi period. Note that all the top-shelf murdering nations have had strong, central (socialist) control. All.
Socialism is not a sufficient condition for mass democide, but it's a necessary condition.
