So he was sort of a misfit/nerd before becoming a community organizer and graduating to politics? sounds familiar.

Not a whole lot of documentation there. Sources, please?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts.
Hitler was left money by his father?
Male Prostitute?
Claims such as that should have cites, verifiable footnotes.
Pretty hard to discuss the evolution of Hitler without
mentioning the influence Benito Mussolini had on him.
Mussolini was a socialist who evolved into a national
socialist as opposed to a communist. The commies tended
to try to organize internationally while Mussolini
drifted toward nationalism. Hitler liked that idea
and developed his political self along those lines.
We’ve always been taught that National Socialism and
Communism are polar opposites. I have never believed
that is true because we have also been taught that
free market capitalism is also the opposite of com-
munism and I know that free market capitalism
and national socialism have almost nothing in
common.
Trust fund baby - just like Bill Ayers. Al Gore? All the Kennedy's? I see a pattern...
The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English as the Nazi Party (from the German Nazi, abbreviated from the pronunciation of Nationalsozialist[5]), was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) prior to a change of name in 1920.

National Health Care: Medicine in Germany 1918-1945 [Nazi health care]
Does the Modern Bureaucratization of Medicine Risk a Return to the Horrors of National Socialist Medicine?
by Marc S. Micozzi M.D.
Today we are concerned about issues such as doctor-assisted suicide, abortion, the use of fetal tissue, genetic screening, birth control and sterilization, health-care rationing and the ethics of medical research on animals and humans. These subjects are major challenges in both ethics and economics at the end of the twentieth century. But at the beginning of the twentieth century the desire to create a more scientific medical practice and research had already raised the issues of euthanasia, eugenics, and medical experimentation on human subjects. In addition, the increasing involvement of the German government in medical care and funding medical research established the government-medical complex that the National Socialists later used to execute their extermination policies. ..."

Basically, in the early 20th century, if you were a nationalist who believed in socialism, marxist-leninist style Communism would not have been a good fit. because it was a very internationalist ideology.
If you were a socialist, a nationalist and a virulent anti-semite, Marxist-Leninist style socialism became an even poorer fit. What you needed was national socialism.
No.
National socialism was a novel creation, influenced by both the French Revolution and by Marx, but also heavily influenced by certain features of the German national character. Neither right nor left, very successful on its own terms until it committed suicide. I wonder how long it will be before some Germans decide to revive the "good parts".
The cover-up is so complete that even The Oxford Dictionary Of The English Language calls Naziism, National SOCIALISM, “extreme RIGHT Wing”!
