The Nazis were not socialistic by any metric, unless your definition of socialism is the government doing stuff, but especially not by New Deal America standards.
That just goes to show how ignorant the average American is. Not what any word means. By that definition all governments would be socialist. Which clearly isn’t the case. Unless you’re one of those people that likes to imagine themselves both capitalist and libertarian.
I feel like there’s plenty room for different interpretations here and I truly do not care to make a point about which Nazi policies were good, ackshually.
My metric here was that I assume modern US Republicans would want to roll back the socialist structures put in place by Bismarck (mandatory health insurance & retirement saving).
The NSDAP didn’t, and that was the very least that they virtue-signaled by calling themselves “socialist”.

That basically IS the majority opinion on the definition here in the modern U.S, so their point stands.
Only if you believe in only letting idiots define what words mean.
Not if they’re just straight up wrong about the definition.
