Bullshit. Socialism isn't about workers rights. Socialism is about government rights over workers. Where do you derelics get this shit?Nope..not even close. But thank you for playing.Yes, Virginia: Hitler really was a socialist

For those of you looking for the Cliff's Notes version, here is the answer: Yes, Hitler and the Nazis were socialists, for the simple reasons that they were staunchly anti-capitalist and believed that the means of production in their society should be controlled by a centralized state power. That is very clear from their writings, their words and their actions. Done and done.
Cliff Notes: The great industrial powers of Germany supported Hitler. See Krupp, Bayer, et.--Hitler, a right-wing Fascist, believed in industry as being subordinate to the State's needs and will. He had no problem with money, making money or German companies making a profit. One man...ruling everything.
The NAZI Party threw the 'Socialist' word in there as a sop to the German worker--you would have to be knowledgeable of the time..and the political/cultural angst that was going on in Germany--in the 1930's--to understand the logic.
He was always the fiercest of enemies to Socialism...he saw it as the polar opposite of Fascism...and knew he had to destroy it. Socialism is about worker's rights--and it certainly was..in that era. A prime tenet of Socialism is that the Worker's must seize the means of production. Hitler was not about to go for that!
This attempt at historical revisionism..has been making the rounds for while now...no one..of any historical competence buys it.
It's just another piece of poop folks want to sling.
