Socialism? "They [The Nazis] never nationalized an industry. They never collectivized agriculture. The first people they arrested, long before the Jews, were liberals and leftists. They outlawed trade unions and empowered huge corporations."

"Yet two years later, in 1929, Hitler backtracked, saying that socialism was an unfortunate word altogether and that if people have something to eat, and their pleasures, then they have their socialism. Historian Henry A. Turner reports Hitlers regret at having integrated the word socialism to the Nazi Party name.[52] The Nazi Party's early self-description as socialist caused conservative opponents, such as the Industrial Employers Association, to describe it as totalitarian, terrorist, conspiratorial, and socialist.[53]"

E Archer said: "who IS a 'real' socialist," there is and has not been any country that practiced true socialism. The "real Socialist" Ghandi's commune, where even Ghandi took his turn cleaning the latrine. Ex: lets say at one point you called yourself an "idiot", then later you discovered you were a bit educated and not an idiot. So who are the real idiots if people that call themselves idiots are not. If you really want to look into it a bit deeper, the "socialism" bit by the Nazis was a marketing tool. I sure you are familiar with that. Before they changed their name to National Socialist, there were 55 members in the Nazi party. So guess why they would change their name.
