Hitler calling himself a "socialist" is a historical semantical difference.
The proper translation for Hitler's socialism would be fascism.


- or maybe racial-extremist fascism (since nationalist seems almost too dull a term for the reality of Nazism). But Hitler heavily opposed both socialism and capitalism.

Capitalism aims to be a merit-based income system, but the reality is it's a risk investment based income system.
Fascism IS a merit-based income system, although the truth of these merits is questionable (with Nazis, they included racial and cultural factors).

Both capitalism and fascism have a profit motive.

To try and illustrate it: capitalism is on the right, socialism on the left... Fascism isn't on this axis, it's somewhere up or down from the center point.

It would be more accurate to say that the goals of fascism - of a merit-based paradise - are more in line with the goals of capitalism than they are with communism or socialism. But it is incorrect to say either is equal to the other.

I feel like youre playing word gymnastics because you dont want the word socialism assosiated with Hitler.

Frankly, it seems like all governments, especially in prosperous countries, practice various of the styles of government. Essentially, the best countries are practicing right wing and left wing ideas. But the countries that pracrtice left wing politics like socialism/communism, find themselves with what appears to be a fascist leader by definition.

But even with a word like nationalist become a bad word because of Hitler. Essentially many political philosophies become sullied because there is some link to the Nazi party. When the reality is governments tend be an amalgamation of different ideas, not just a single philosophy.
