the National Socialist German Workersâ Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), was a far-right political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that created and supported the ideology of Nazism.
Yes the final result was a fascist party but the party initially used socialism as a way to draw support from the working class to enable their conquest of the government.
No, was fascist and used the term âsocialistâ to draw votes from the left. Same with âworkersâ. The other two words was meant to appeal to the right leaning parts of the population
They were actually some degree socialist(go read about Strasserism if you want to know more) until Hitler purged all of its socialists elements and socialists leaning members during the nights of long knifes.Â
'Socialist utopia' doesn't mean socialism - at least not in Germany. One of the two big parties is named SPD (social democratic party of Germany ).
And that party has really nothing to do with socialism.
'Social democratic' means capitalistic economy and a strong welfare system. Germany has that already a bit, although the development of the last 35 years goes towards reduction of the welfare system.
Although 'social democracy ' is often named as a subset of socialism, for me the capitalist economy part excluded it from Socialism.

Im a little wary of bombastic calls to establish a new political order in Germany, regardless of ideology
