The Nazis co-opted the word "socialism" and meant something entirely
different
by it than did the actual socialists of the era. The Nazis absolutely did
*not*
mean economic collectivism, i.e. state ownership of the means of
production and
distribution, the hallmark of socialism. In fact, the Nazis *privatized* industries that had been taken over by the state under the Weimar
republic.

What Hitler and the Nazis meant by their use of "socialism" was a sort of cultural and Aryan identity collectivism. The Nazis were mortally opposed
to
Marxism, Leninism, "Fourierism," "Fabian" socialism, "democratic"
socialism, or
*any* of the traditional left-wing socialist philosophies. The Nazis were
not
left-wing by any stretch of the imagination. The claim that they were is a
lie
told by far right-wingnuts to try, unsuccessfully, to pretend there is
some
ideological distance between them and outright Nazis.

Nazis: extreme nationalism
Socialists: internationalist; national identity is bad

Nazis: indifferent to existence of private enterprise
Socialists: collectivist first and foremost regarding enterprise

Nazis: virulently racist
Socialists: anti-racist

Nazis: extreme reverence for the past and "traditional values"
Socialists: "progressive" - hostility to past and tradition

Nazis: romantic and folkloric; anti-intellectual
Socialists: "scientific" and pro-intellectual

Nazis: glorification of military and war as greatest expression of
national identity; effective military control of state
Socialists: military subordinate to civilian-controlled state

Nazis: aggressively expansionist through war
Socialists: passively expansionist through collapse of capitalist
economies due to capitalism's so-called "inherent contradiction"

Fascism and Nazism are right-wing, not left-wing. The revisionist effort
by
right-wingnuts to paint a contrary picture is a failure.

There is a reason that Nazis were major participants at the "unite the
right"
murder rally in Charlottesville in 2017. It's because they are and always
have
been extremist right-wing.

Thanks God.

In fact, the Nazis *privatized*
industries that had been taken over by the state under the Weimar

So, Jewish state stole businesses from owners, and Nazis returned it when
they got to power? Wow, I thought they were bad guys.

Oh, so they *were* good guys?

Being White is bad. Send money to Israel.

Whoa. Mind. Blown.

Collectivist Stalin says hello.

Nazis: virulently racist
Socialists: anti-racist

Hmm… since they were right about everything else, I’m pretty sure they were right about that, too.

Thanks God we bombed them in Dresden, right? I mean, gay rights, child
grooming and black troons is what America was fighting for against those
evil traditionalists, obviously.

Sure. Germans were never known for their engineering and scientific
expertise.

Shit like that says a lot about intelligence of target audience of this article.

Nazis: glorification of military and war as greatest expression of
national identity; effective military control of state

That’s just a lie.

Nazis: aggressively expansionist through war

That’s a lie.

Good to know that socialists are expansionists. Feels good living in
collapsing capitalist Weimerica knowing who is getting ready to “expand”.
