This post is great for multiple reasons but there’s this one bit that bothers the hell out of me. It mentions that Nazism is socialism. This is false. The author of this post equates social welfare with socialism. This is not the case. Socialism is worker control of the means of production. That is not a policy Nazis support. Nazis are not socialists.
National socialism refers to the actual name of the style of government the Nazi’s used. Nazis had a habit of pretending to be socialists or used some socialist economic policies in order to gain support and disguise what they were actually working towards.
It really was “socialism for who we decide deserves it”, and was closely tied to nationalism. That isn’t actual socialism at all. The confusion about this was deliberate and leads people into thinking nazis were socialists, and that “national socialism” means socialism. Yonatan should have made that clear.
