The Nazis did some impressive things when they came to power, but we typically only associate them with bad. Younger generations use the term “nazi” to describe people they have chosen to dislike, and they have a poor understanding of Nazism.

I see whether Nazis were socialists or not is being discussed in this post…

Socialist governments want to control our lives, and Nazis too sought to control populations. Speech and other freedoms are often restricted by socialist governments.

Hitler said: “I want everyone to keep what he has earned subject to the principle that the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the state should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State. The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners.”

We know the Nazi Party was a socialist party when it was first established, and we know that this is how it attracted many of its supporters. I believe that Nazis were unique, representing many facets of politics simultaneously. Hitler fused racial ideology with socialism. He allowed private ownership to the extent it would benefit him and his Nazi state. A socialist would do the same. Nazism had to come first, and everything was subject to this condition.

It is said that socialism advocates eradicating inequality in our societies, which is not possible. Inequality is inherent and unchanging; we may be equal in the eyes of God, but we are not equal to one another, and we have traits that are either good or bad, circumstances that either help or do not help. Socialism can only be partially practiced because it is not practical or realistic, and can very easily become fascism when we consider state interference. Eradicating inequality would make you a dictator, a person using their powers to mess with a naturally occurring order of events to create a new and different outcome, making someone else a loser in the process.

@SW-User So let's all practice blatant unfairness and inequality because you think doing otherwise is being a dictator.
