Teeeeeeeeeeechnically, the term is correct, the Nazi regime did offer socialist benefits… Only for those they considered “nationals”, hence NatSoc.
Socialism alone does not guarantee democracy nor freedom of speech, it is strictly a financial system where the means of production are owned by society. The prefix “national” then defines who that society is.
And yet it is used as the bogeyman anytime someone mentions the dirty word “socialism” in the US. Despite the fact that Socialism at this point would have to be better better than the crony capitalism we have now.
I really really hate that they call themselves a socialist party… like the KKK calling themselves Racial Unity.
