Boy are you clueless about history the NAZI's where fascists not socialists.  Get back at me when you pass history and politics 101. 

Fascism is not exclusive to the right by any means. If anything the left is more prone to authoritarianism. Nazism come from a self-described socialist party.

The reason why they called themselves socialist was to gain support from the working class, as socialist/communist movements were gaining popularity and thus they wanted to siphon votes from them:

I posted links of their policies in my response to o_O.Q, namely privatization. They should be judged based on their actual policies, not their rhetoric. Unless of course you want to consider North Korea democratic because they have Democratic in their official name.
