I suppose you are partially correct.
Facisism and socialism aren't necessarily intertwined. I don't think
Nazism was really socialism though. I would say that Nazism ran closer to
Marxism than socialism (and yes I do realize they are all kissing cousins), or
even had more in common with Lenin's communism than in what socialism is defined
as *today*. All these isms were popping up everywhere, particularly during
that time frame. Yet the beliefs that make the foundations of them go back
eons as theories.
In theory at least the government (whether
fascist or not) in a socialist economy is benevolent and again in theory has the
best for the citizens at heart. I don't think that theory can ever come to
pass given the nature of man....
Perhaps it is simpler to say Hitler was a
Nazi, because Nazism bundles up the unique economic system of Germany during his
reign, and Germany's governing bodies during the same
period.
Still, these nuances aside, the socialism
embraced by the modern democratic party in the US is a far cry from the actions
of Germany under Hitler. It's still an untenable system, as socialism
breeds contempt and inept workers.
Capitalism and a free market economy is the
only sustainable economic system. It works best within a democracy.
While socialism and communism thrive in a totalitarian
government.

What do you think fascism is, Charles? It's national socialism, an economic system in which government and business collaborate. Genocide is not an intrinsic feature of national socialism; rather, that was used in Germany as the motivational glue to keep popular support for the government intact by scapegoating a disliked minority.
