What's wrong with national socialism outside of the emphasis on race, and sometimes on genocide?

Omitting race, what's bad about national socialism in your opinion?

First, the 'national' is actually a disguise, what it means is the dictatorship & the socialism is outright fake.
The national pride & xenophobia is to divert attention from loss of freedom, misplaced priorities, mismanaged govt & low quality of life.

@Domking I actually disagree. If you listen to what fascists said and what National socialists say (granted, national socialism and fascism are not synonyms), is "everything for the state, nothing outside the state". It didn't pretend to increase individual rights.

@BRUUH
it's of no importance "what fascists said" - look at what they did and try to do.

@Domking That's like saying "it doesn't matter what marxism states, or what the doctrine of communism posits- look at what the commies did". No, the tenets of an ideology are important in understanding it. The application of the ideology is important to know when trying to udnerstand, well.. y'know, what happens lol.

@BRUUH both Russia & China are blamed for their doings, and suffered for their doings, they are not spared.
Your ideology or policy will only matter when it gives reasonably good and sustainable comfort to people, and not the pious words.

Thank you, have a good day.
