It is truly amazing how one word, socialism,  is used skew the true politics of the Nazis. It is particularly useful when the far right acts out.

Much like the commercial about clean coal, where they harness the "awesome power" of the word clean.

I cant think of anyone who seriously classifies or equates Nazism with any leftist group.

But to quote Adolf, we can see where this misinformation comes from and its pupose:

I'm sure that Nero didn't set fire to Rome. It was the Christian-Bolsheviks who did that, just as the Commune set fire to Paris in 1871 and the Communists set fire to the Reichstag in 1932.
