If there was no competition in the world, would there still be Nazis? If everyone had their needs met, would there still be racism on that scale?

Its a hard question for me. The OG Nazi party was born out of the desperation of post WWI Germany. If the world would've come together after WWI and decided to work together on a global scale, Germany would have been rebuilt with the help of the rest of the world, and Hitler's words would have at least struggled to reach anyone.

I realize this is all a very hypothetical, fairy tale, line of thinking. I am most definitely on team "punch a Nazi", myself. I just wonder if it would be the same if the world wasn't a hyper competitive capitalistic battleground.
