It's both. Communism for the cold war. Whatever sort of political inclination it's rivals had, americans got taught to hate, most don't even understand why and confuse those doctrines with dictatorship.

They weren't socialist LOL, they were as socialistic as China is communist union. They use the name socialist to gain support from the increasing communist movement within Germany.

That is beyond the point isn't it? It's a different argument. You are talking inside germany not outside.
Let me remind you what the point was. Americans think socialism and communism are evil things, often confusing them with dictatorship. Like in the Venezuela case here. Nazi= nationalist socialism. That is what the americans fought against and that was what their propaganda machine aimed at. Were you expecting them to give the masses a political lesson? It doesn't work.
But, yes, that is why they are so unfamiliar with it and think it's an evil thing.
With that said, what you say is an interpretation. Hitler did preach some of the ideals of socialism. He believed in the ideal of the people doing their part for the state as a unified machine and the state giving back. Of course, practice is another thing.
