Yeah, Hitler nationalised a lot, too.

The programs you describe, benefits, pensions and so on might convince some that they are dealing with a socialist state, when in fact anybody in Europe would merely call them social. When it comes down to it, socialism, which indeed is constantly being conflated with a lot of things, is about the workers owning the means of production. Of course you know that! But it also has never been the goal of the Russian Avantgarde nor the fascists in the west. Both their systems were exploiting workers. This time in the „national interest“. About that they had different opinions, though.

Where did Hitler come from?

And no, sorry, fascism is socialism. Always was, always will be. You can't bend the truth to suit your narrative.

Why do you insist? Nobody would agree with you on that

Only authoritarian "lefties" disagree.
