well you are wrong. there are plenty examples where a capitalist country owns privately operated companies (as opposed to a public enterprise which is also an option) or forces a company to do what they want. still capitalism. the state is a legal person and can do business and the state can enforce and create laws to make companies do or stop doing certain things. a state can even legally nationalise companies as happened with banks during the 2008 financial crisis. also most all companies traded on the stock exchange are owned by a group not an individual. capitalism has nothing to do with individual or groups control.

the main problem with this video is that he makes up definitions or uses modern english definitions that didn't exist back then or even today in countries like germany and then criticizes a german guy that lived 70 years ago. socialism is, according to most definitions one of 3 political ideologies of the 19. century. the other two being conservatism and liberalism. socialism itself as a word is not defined and is generally excepted to contain all 3 of the social movements namely communism, social democracy and anarchism. none of this is dry cut and perfectly defined so you can't criticize someone for using language in a perfectly acceptable way just because your own understanding of what the definitions of words in your language should be. socialists and national socialists both used the word socialist but that doesn't mean they liked each other or tried to accomplish the same thing. so if a socialist said that national socialism is not socialism then he clearly means his version of socialism.
