Socialist, enh? No doubt you base that assumption on the fact that he called his party the "National Socialist" party.
You insinuate in your first quote that one should be known for their actions. Let's review the actions of Hitler's party.
The National Socialist party operated on fascism, and fascism is based on a philosophy that the needs of the individual and social matters were less important than the needs of the state and its leaders.
True socialism, on the other hand, is based entirely on the philosophy that government exists to serve the needs of the populace.
Saying Nazis were socialists because they used the word in their name is like saying Republicans are communists because the U.S.S.R. stood for the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics.
Judge upon actions, not names.
