@OneStepBeyondu National socialism is not Marxism, its not even a single ideology. The term national socialism has been adopted by various socialist groups with differing takes on socialism.
Even the national socialist parties of Italy and Germany had various differences in foreign policy, how much they prioritized race in their propaganda, how they implemented their versions of socialism, and to what degree they were authoritarian vs totalitarian.
National socialists were almost always at odds with Marxists, despite some national socialist leaders, like Mussolini, being a die hard Marxist in his early years.
There are many variations of socialism, in practice they always end up using nationalism to bolster their propaganda and manipulate people. That doesn’t mean there’s anything inherently wrong with nationalism itself, which is just prioritizing the interests and people of a nation above those outside the country.
Any country that doesn’t implement nationalism to a modest degree has no social cohesion and will eventually be conquered or break apart from internal conflict.
But taken to the extreme or used as a tool of a dictator, it becomes dangerous. Any sociopolitical extreme leads to a bad end.
