Was Hitler a Socialist?

I think he was asking for specific actions or policies or "browncoats playbook" type things that you could actually point to in "the more left leaning people in america" that are substantially similar to Hitler's and different from most other people in America. 

Stuff like this maybe(https://www.westernjournal.com/antifa-shut-intersection-threaten/) or this(https://freebeacon.com/politics/two-gop-candidates-assaulted-minnesota/)

I agree that the actions reported in those stories are wrong.  I have more confidence in the accuracy of the Minnesota story than the Oregon story.  I did a little digging on the latter and found wildly different accounts, and was unable to corroborate the one you cited:  videos had been taken down etc.  (By the way, I live in MN, so double thanks for bringing that to my attention.)  But how do they compare to the actions of Hitler and his supporters?  I mean he wasn't shooting Jews in the streets 24/7 and I guess he started small like everyone else, but I want to know where you're drawing the comparison.  Also I'd ask if the original comment was implying that this behavior was specific to the left, or more prevalent there, or was just "the extreme left as well as the extreme right".
