Not to the war and Nazi rule itself, but to the socioeconomic conditions that people with other agendas exploited in order to gain positions of power and influence, and encourage the compliance, that made those atrocities possible.

Hm, if class strife was present in both world wars and the current day, maybe it's just a crappy part of society which has been there for a long time, and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon?
People with power have always exploited it, and those being exploited have always resented it. I don't know when or if that'll change, but it doesn't mean modern day America (or UK) is similar to ore-WW2 Germany
