That’s years old right wing propaganda spread by the likes of Alex Jones for years. They use the ‘socialism’ in “national socialist” (part of the term Nazi comes from) to argue so, ignoring the fact that anyone can make a name whether or not it’s true. If any socialist plans were made by the Nazis, it was of course racist first; only the in group gets any benefit.
These are old ideas that were niche at first but have been moving out into the public as the right shifts the Overton window. Stuff we’d dismiss at ridiculous crazy yelly conspiracy man is now mainstream even with people who might not want to be associated with Jones.
Yeah, I love that one. “They have socialist in the name!” So you believe the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea is all of those things?
The Nazis have socialist in the name because they joined with socialists in the early days to consolidate power and then they killed the socialists. Who what it they first came for in that poem? The fucking socialists.
Is this “American left wing” in the room with us right now?
In America they’ve calibrated the political compass with Hitler at 0,0
People have the weirdest political compasses now. Spoke to a crypto bloke the other day who was emphatic about Nazism being “leftist” ideology.

And every one knows he was a lefty, right?
To the American conservative? “National socialism” is all they need to hear, then they stop thinking
American conservatives: “Hitler was a socialist. Also he did nothing wrong”.
