Good grief, you’re missing the basic core point with your convoluted pretzel logic.

NAZI was a SOCIALIST movement and another branch of leftism.

You can’t spell NAZI without SOCIALIST.

It’s not rocket science....and where did you get those shoes?

While their name did include the word “socialist”, their policies and treatment of left-wing opponents show they were not socialists.

Many have claimed that the Nazi party were socialists, due to their full name—the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

This argument has been used to attack socialism through association with Nazi policies. It has also led to confusion, as Nazism is normally associated with fascism and far-right-wing views.

The issue of whether the Nazis were socialists isn’t a straightforward one, due to how the Nazi party developed and grew its base of support. But the consensus among historians is that the Nazis, and Hitler in particular, were not socialists in any meaningful sense.

Historians have regularly disavowed claims that Hitler adhered to socialist ideology. Historian Richard Evans wrote of the Nazis’ incorporation of socialist into their name in 1920, “Despite the change of name, however, it would be wrong to see Nazism as a form of, or an outgrowth from, socialism….Nazism was in some ways an extreme counter-ideology to socialism”. Or as simply put by historian and Hitler expert Ian Kershaw, “Hitler was never a socialist.”
