I have read an old german book which described that the nazi system has a part of socialism (same planned economy as it was in ussr under stalin) guess it was maybe false.It was a german book of 1963.
Being democrat is not being socialist. Here are two definition of socialism and communism that are kinda true for the us
Socialist: Takes everything you own through taxes and then takes your guns..
Communist: Uses their guns to take your guns, then everything else, and you have nothing left to tax.
Being democrat is accepting every people and respecting their rights.In europe socialist is a different case not the same thing as in the us. You can be a conservative and respecting everyone too.
I did not say that all Socialists are democrats, I said that there are many parties that have "democracy" or "socialist" in the name, but not really are that.
For example China's full name is "The People's Republic of China", but it's not a Republic, it's a Communistic dictatorship.
The Nazis in Germany named themselves Nationalsocialists, to be able to sneak some votes from people fooled to believe they were Socialists. It's not the first time organisations change their name to fool people. Neither the last.
The Employer's Organisation in Sweden, that handled the negotiations with the worker unions changed name a few years ago to "Swedish Industry". A more neutral name which makes people sometimes forget that it's just the new name for the Employer's Organisation, so that they forget to be critical against statistics and such that come from them.
Another example is some Nazi and Nationalist parties in Sweden that got together into one party which they named the Sweden Democrats. A name that also makes people forget they actually are Nationalists/Nazis.
Then there are the School Union and the School Organization. One a serious organization of Sweden's joined students, the other a Communistic organization that chose their name only to confuse so they can spread their propaganda.
I think we can probably think of more examples, but I think you've gotten my point now?
