n practice, the National Socialists of Germany were very "socialists." They had the largest welfare/social system the world had ever seen. They instituted government job guarantees and built massive structures like the 1936 Olympic Stadium, freeways, and public buildings. They had 8,000 government daycare centers by 1939. They had high taxes, one was called the "Inflation tax." The Nazis had mountains of red tape. Farmers were told what seeds to plant. All private charity was banned in 1933 in order to force everyone to be dependent upon government welfare, controlling almost every aspect of a citizen's life. Bernie Sanders once suggested doing away with private charity. Naturally.

The Nazis froze wages, prices, and rents (rent control). They destroyed state rights and city rights (local control) in Germany. Hitler dissolved all of the duly-elected sitting state parliaments of the German states except for the Prussian which the Nazis already had control. The Nazis centralized everything they could get their hands on. I could go on and on.

What did George Orwell say about the National Socialists? He wrote: "National Socialism is a form of Socialism, is emphatically revolutionary, does crush the property owner as surely as it crushes the worker. The two regimes, having started from opposite ends, are rapidly evolving towards the same system—a form of oligarchical collectivism. . . . It is Germany that is moving towards Russia, rather than the other way about. It is therefore nonsense to talk about Germany ‘going Bolshevik’ if Hitler falls. Germany is going Bolshevik because of Hitler and not in spite of him."
