Listen, just because the Nazi party called themselves socialists and had socialists policies does not make them socialists.
Well, it is obvious that you never studied the actual NAZI platform itself, nor it's actual history.
And no, I am not talking about the man nominally in charge, but the platform.
Here are some key points from their official party platform:
That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.
All personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits
We demand the nationalization of all trusts.
We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.
We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.
In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State.
The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor.
Now tell me, which of those points are in contradiction to Socialism? Of course there was other things, like all media being subservient to the State, which Socialists also love.
You say that they were not Socialists, but offer no proof. How about some proof? Prove that what you are saying is true.
I myself just presented a big chunk of the actual National SOcialist Party Platform. What do you have?
