Nazism hasn't been stamped out. It's just been given a number of new names to make it more palatable. A sizeable percentage of American "Conservatives", especially in the MAGA cult, subscribe to an ideology that is every bit as fascist, nationalist, white-supremacist, and Christofascist as the Nazis. The only difference is the nation they represent. We're currently seeing a meteoric rise in antisemitic rhetoric from those same elements.
Nazism is just a specific brand of fascist nationalism. Make no mistake, there's every bit of effort to push several nations, and especially America, into a new fourth Reich in everything but name and nation.
If you liked The Martian, you'll probably love Weir's "Project Hail Mary" It's about a last-ditch effort by a lone scientist and astronaut to save Earth from a cataclysm. There's much, much more to it, but I really don't want to spoil it. I will say that it very much builds on core principles of The Martian, and is a fantastic read. Reminds me a bit of Michael Bear's "Eon" books and the Niven/Pournelle Motie series by way of The Martian.
Action Masters were hot garbage. Especially since some of them managed to somehow have even less articulation than their original transforming counterpart, which is saying something.
