I challenge you to first give examples of how the Nazis were socialists. Then I ask you to consider that, maybe, Hitler put "socialist" into National Socialist just as a way to hide the truth about his party. And, finally, when the Nazis came to power, they sent all the socialists to camps. The Nazis were not only against socialism, but against communism, as seen by them attacking and attempting to invade Russia, who had just become communist in 1924, and was, before that, socialist.
Just because it says "National socialism" doesn't mean it was socialism. However, the Nazis were very much Nationalists, which is what Trump said he was.

@SnakeWasRight A well thought-out and written post. I think you're onto something with the "Bad WWII German Fuhrer Man." :)
I'm about to go into the hospital for some emergency junk. Hopefully I'll be able to respond to you soon, if not today.
Yes, I agree with you about taking the dictionary definition of socialism as my axiom:
"A political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."
And the Marxist take on it works for me too, while also opening a neat perspective:
"A transitional social state between the overthrow of capitalism and the realization of Communism."
While I can't comment on all you wrote (due to heading out for the hospital soon), I can say that I agree with what you wrote about "Bad WWII German Fuhrer Man." He was, indeed, "he was against LITERALLY ANYONE challenging his power." I've never quite thought of it that way, but it's very insightful of you.
Let's try to keep our posts short (laughing at the length of my own post here), so we can reply back and forth, without being overwhelmed. I can tell, now, you are highly intelligent. I didn't think you would be. I have misjudged you greatly. Wish me luck in this hospital, and hopefully I'm okay, and will be out soon to debate socialism with you. Have a good day.
