To: Tell It Right

Nazis were not socialist. That’s like saying the DRPK is democratic.

Perhaps it's a matter of interpretation of what their official policy. Here's what I see from the Nazi party platform.

10. It must be the first duty of every citizen to perform physical or mental work. The activities of the individual must not clash with the general interest, but must proceed within the framework of the community and be for the general good.

We demand therefore:
11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work. (Okay. Perhaps that's beyond true socialism.)

13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industrial enterprises.

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, the immediate communalizing of big department stores, and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders, and that the utmost consideration shall be shown to all small traders in the placing of State and municipal orders.

17. We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation; the abolition of ground rent, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

21. The State must ensure that the nation’s health standards are raised by protecting mothers and infants, by prohibiting child labor, by promoting physical strength through legislation providing for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and by the extensive support of clubs engaged in the physical training of youth.

A lot of that sounds like modern "Democrat socialists" to me.

Yeahvthey were. They didn’t want any big industry solely in individuals’ hands. And they made sure it didn’t happen

There was no real freedom.
