Which means “National Socialist German Worker’s Party”. And that’s not to say that they are socialist. See, North Korea is technically called Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, but it’s about as much as a democracy as I am a four armed alien from Mars.
One conservative writer dropped the “fact bomb” that Nazis were socialists.

Socialism cripples the economy. It’s the stepping stone to communism as said by Vladamir Lenin, and you can’t start a war with other countries like the Nazis did when you’re communist. Look what happened to Russia, it was too busy killing 20 million of it’s own people to keep up.
So no, the Nazis couldn’t be socialist. They’d be too weak to attack. One twitter user pointed this out.
Ok, dickhead, I did this politely to someone else earlier, but now I'm going to rinse you. Prepare. https://t.co/HcgpKHY3Cq

Yeah, the Nazis called themselves the 'National Socialists', and they even nicked some (incredibly benign) socialist policies…

It is, however, a total misnomer, it's like the World Series, or Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or 'ethics in gaming journalism'.

The Nazis were fascists. Indisputably. They drew their ideology from Italy's fascists, who arose in reaction to the Left.

The Italian Right, @stillgray, still mired in 19th century thought, could not tackle the explosion in left-wing organization.

Mussolini gives us the first fascist platform – national/racial superiority, rearmament & expansion, and consolidation of capital.

The Italian Fascists appropriated, wholesale, Roman imagery, such as the 'fasces', to evoke renewed national pride & a sense of superiority. pic.twitter.com/nOr1ohA76P

The Italian Fascists sought, @stillgray, to expand & reclaim historically Italian lands (mirroring a large portion of the old Roman Empire). pic.twitter.com/2Rot3O9gZN

After nicking some socialist economic policies (public works & spending), fascist government formed corporate cartels, enriching the few.

Hitler & his Deutcher Arbeiter Partei mates see this and decide that they need to steal support from actual socialists, @StillGray… pic.twitter.com/Fq9ylQcch7
