NAZI = National Socialist.

@pbuck0145

Ok, and? Christian Science is a sect of Christianity that rejects medicine and believes prayer alone should be used to heal. It has literally nothing to do with science, despite the name.

It's a known fact that Nazis were not Socialist, despite the name. Nazis were heavy right, Socialism is heavy left.

It is nothing but a Conservative "gotcha" narrative to try and equate the two, in order to try and distance the Right-Wing Christian Nazi party from current day Right-Wing Christians.

The Nazi regime had little to do with socialism, despite it being prominently included in the name of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The NSDAP, from Hitler on down, struggled with the political implications of having socialism in the party name. Some early Nazi leaders, such as Gregor and Otto Strasser, appealed to working-class resentments, hoping to wean German workers away from their attachment to existing socialist and communist parties. The NSDAP’s 1920 party program, the 25 points, included passages denouncing banks, department stores and “interest slavery,” which suggested a quasi-Marxist rejection of free markets. But these were also typical criticisms in the anti-Semitic playbook, which provided a clue that the party’s overriding ideological goal wasn’t a fundamental challenge to private property.

Instead of controlling the means of production or redistributing wealth to build a utopian society, the Nazis focused on safeguarding a social and racial hierarchy. They promised solidarity for members of the Volksgemeinschaft ("racial community" ) even as they denied rights to those outside the charmed circle.

Not to mention there is a fundamental difference between pure Socialism and Democratic Socialism.

U sure about that? LoL

@JacksonNought Hate to say it to u, but you are wrong.
Nazi Party, byname of National Socialist German Workers’ Party, German Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), political party of the mass movement known as National Socialism. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the party came to power in Germany in 1933 and governed by totalitarian methods until 1945.

Yes they were a socialist government

@Thefallenangel they were fascists, not socialists.. You are incorrect.
