It's good to repeat that the Nazis were essentially militaristic leftists (i.e., they wouldn't be so very welcome in today's leftist Pantheon, but would be tolerated if they brought their guns).
Thing is, fascism is not quite socialism. In socialism the government directly owns the means of production and takes the heat and/or credit when good or awful results ensue. That's a terrible way to run any kind of country, but it is at least relatively honest. No one is kidding anyone who's in charge.
In fascism, the government stays at one step's remove: dictating to the putative owners of the means of production what they can and cannot do, but leaving the blame and problems to them. This ends up looking like capitalism but isn't. We've had a fascist government in America for decades now.
Fascism is essentially socialism for cowards.
“Fascism is essentially socialism for cowards.”
That line is a keeper! Never seen it put so succinctly!
