Maybe you should go back and read those speeches again. Hitler railed against Marxists constantly. The Nazi party fought them in the streets, and actions are louder than words.

Their reforms were socialist, but not Marxist. That doesn’t mean they didn’t borrow anything from Marx, but they rejected many of the most fundamental points of his thinking and hated the other socialists who did not.

Followers of Marxism often kill each other. That does change the fact that Nazi's had a completely Marxist agricultural system in their country and imposed it on countries they invaded. The exception was industry, where private ownership was permitted so long as the owners were loyal to the party. They had a socialized health care system, which they used to justify weeding out the infirm due to the cost of care to them. The ideal of the blond haired blue eyed ideal German was straight out of the Marxist “über man” that would emerge as a result of the Marxist system. They had government control of citizen behavior and speech.

THOSE actions speak louder than words. Fascism is a strain of Marxism, as are Socialism and Communism.
