In all fairness, modern socialism is a blend between Marxist socialism and national socialism, picking and choosing the elements they want from each system.

In some respects, this was seen as early as the 1930s in the “Ol’ Frank” Roosevelt administration. By then it was clear that many of the traditional Marxist-socialist doctrines were utter ca-ca. But national socialism and fascist economics, especially, was new and trendy.

“What we were doing in this country were some of
the things that were being done in Russia and even
some of the things that were being done under
Hitler in Germany. But we were doing them in an
orderly way.”
— President Franklin D. Roosevelt

” FDR's Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes conceded that “what we were doing in this country were some of the things that were being done in Russia and even some of the things that were being in Germany. But we were doing them in an orderly way.”
