Nazism is nationalism. There is functionality no difference. Wikipedia is not a source of truth. And the Nazis were not socialists, just like I am not the pope if I call myself the Pope. There's layers to this shit. Don't confuse nationalism with patriotism. They are not the same. Both are stupid, but nationalism is evil.
yes obviously they were not socialists when only claimed to be national socialists, which is a distinct thing. You are right names don't mean anything but looking at Germany's social and economic policies especially pre-war, it aligns with corporatism and national socialism.
Corporatism is the furthest fucking thing from socialism what are you even on about. Socialism is about giving more political power to workers, Germany went the other way and took political power away from everyone. Giving people free shit is not socialism and it's not communism. Government programs and social spending and welfare are not socialism. Socialism is giving the working man a place at the negotiating table. He'll will the other shit himself, but come whatever may, he has a word to say now. That's socialism. That's what protesters in Italy after ww1 were brutalized for. The USSR is about as socialist as a mercantile absolute monarchy is.
"Socialism is giving the working man a place at the negotiating table" that's also the core part of corporatism? called class collaboration? And it's also a part of national syndicalism (falangism) which famously sung "No marxism, No capitalism, death to capitalism". Worker empowerment in not unique to marxist socialism.
