if hitler had been successful in taking over the world and running the economies of those countries that would've been capitalist?

Globalism isn't inherent to socialism or capitalism.  It can work equally good in either.

why do people that do not know what capitalism and socialism are keep talking like they do?

It's almost as bad as the people that think Hitler was bad because he was "socialist".  As if it had nothing to do with the death camps, because apparently if he wasn't socialist, he would've been a much better person...  

"Globalism isn't inherent to socialism or capitalism.  It can work equally good in either.  "

globalism is about centralised control across countries which is counter to what capitalism or private ownership is about

 

"It's almost as bad as the people that think Hitler was bad because he was "socialist"."

well i think its reasonable to observe patterns such as socialists putting regimes in place that always result in a dramatically reduced quality of life for the people subjected to them

it is a system that has never worked and breeds delusional resentment in people

 

"because apparently if he wasn't socialist, he would've been a much better person... "

probably, he maybe wouldn't have been so resentful of people who were more successful than him, which from what i've seen is the common trend with socialists

that's not to say that things are fair and there are no problems but rational solutions not motivated by resentment i think is the way to go

and i think another remark i have to make here is that i'm not even really speaking about all socialists, but a particular type that seems to be more and more active recently
