The honesty of Nazis is a peculiar thing. In Sweden, the far-right party that the government collaborates with, who were started by literal ex-SS nazis and neo-nazis, have celebrated other ex-SS nazis, have worn swaztikas and so on. They have this “sociologist” guy whose argument for this party not being nazis anymore is basically “Look at Golden Dawn and other nazi organizations, they are open about them being nazis. Nazis are honest about being nazis. That is why the Sweden Democrats cannot be nazis, because if they were, they’d be open about it”.



There is a common argument from the right that goes “nazis were left because the socialism in national socialism means they are left”. I think you are being interpreted as arguing in this way because you said “socialism means left though” on a comment saying the nazis used that label to obscure their rightwing politics. Socialism is leftwing, but not in the the context of national socialism, that “socialism” plays the same role as the “democratic” in the democratic peoples republic of korea.
