Hitler was always a proponent of "the big lie". Nothing about his agenda was socialist. Is everyone named Johnson the son of someone named John? Names mean little, or nothing in this case.
Socialism is the redistribution of wealth from the wealthy to the poor.
Facism, Hitlers poitical persuasion, is about the consolidation of unchecked power in an elite organization based on some unifying characteristic. When it suited the Nazis, capitalism thrived. When it did not, industries became nationalized.
I understand how the poorly educated mistake the nazis for communists - both rely on an elite, priveliged party, but to think that the nazis were socialists is just pathetic.
