Explanation: The Nazis, as they are better known, were formally the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP). Despite this, their claims to be socialist was never very strong - nor a workers’ party, for that matter, as their support came primarily from the middle class. For that matter, in their most famous period after they took power, they purged the more-left-wing (insofar as such a leaning is possible within the bizarre Nazi worldview) faction, and openly aligned themselves with capitalist magnates, who were getting nervous about the left-wing talk in some corners of this “socialist” party, and were greatly relieved by Hitler’s reconciliation with big business and privatization.

If only misrepresenting socialism ranked highly among the worst things they did.

In addition to other trivial arguments to disprove this, my method is four letters: DPRK.

If anyone tries to say that, tell them national socialism was really nationalism.
