    Aren’t Nationalism and Socialism contradictory? I mean in one the people serve the State while in the other the State serves the people. Not as dumb as Anarcho Capitalism, but still silly.

      Yes. Fools will tell you the Nazis were socialists, people of a normal intelligence will tell you that calling yourself a duck does not make you a duck.

        The issue is that both terms are valid and well defined in political science, but “socialism” and “national socialism” are not significantly related and it is disingenuous to even call national socialism a type of socialism.

        “The full name of the Nazi Party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German for ‘National Socialist German Workers’ Party’)”

        Gee, I wonder how anyone could possibly come to that conclusion?
