conflating Nazism with the Marxist concept of socialism is disingenuous. you should use the #nazi tag or something else.

The nazi's were without a doubt socialist, but to imply that genocide is an outgrowth of socialism is a bit of a stretch. It's a bizarre tag without a doubt.

The Strasserists were socialists. Nasty, racist socialists, horribly confused socialists, but socialists all the same. It didn't work out for them.

Poe-tato, po-tato. Socialism in the Chinese, Russian, or Nazi form pretty much produces the same results through slightly different means, with distinctions of interest mostly to those trying to protect the idea from the reality.

Personally, I'd lump fascism and warlordism and neo-oligarchy in there with it as they are different frosting on the same donut.
