Socialism focuses on class struggle and the redistribution of wealth to achieve economic equality. In contrast, Hitler’s ideology was based on racial purity and nationalism, which are fundamentally different from socialist principles.
Hitler actively opposed and persecuted socialists and communists. After coming to power, the Nazis banned socialist and communist parties, imprisoned their leaders, and suppressed their activities.
While the Nazis did implement some state control over the economy, their policies were designed to support large industrialists and capitalists, not to redistribute wealth or promote workers’ rights.
The use of the term “socialist” in the party’s name was largely a propaganda tool to attract working-class support. Once in power, Hitler discarded any pretense of socialist policies.

Hitler was all about class struggle, he just mixed in race and nationalism.

Any evidence? His relations with big business and the landed gentry suggest otherwise.
And you're confusing right wing with libertarian. There are libertarian socialists who believe in minimal state functions and Marx himself proposed the "withering away of the state".

Engels came up with the idea... and, why would s government want to abolish itself?

Where did Marx propose the "withering away of the state"? What publication and then did any government actually do it? 😀

Really? So you think when they call the right wing nazis theyre just talking about the libertarians? Ofcourse not, they mean first and foremost conservatists, with Trump as Hitler...
And its common knowledge Hitler appealed to the working class, just the fact his party was called the German workers party can tell you as much.
Anyway just by calling it extreme right because of the racial and nationalist element is disingenuous and ignoring the similarities it has with communism and socialism, and the fact all socialist and communist dictators use nationalism.
No one would be coming for the socialists or commies, they are the ones who come for people…

That's some stunning non-sequiturs there.
I don't know who "they" are, but if "they" know about politics they know the difference between libertarians and nazis.
Hitler was a populist, and therefore appealed to the working class. That doesn't not mean that class was an element in Hitler's policies.
His party was called the workers' party. Kim Jong Un runs the Democratic Republic of North Korea. Go figure.
I agree that racist and national element on their own do not define extreme right wing. However, taken with all Hitler's other policies...
And no, not all socialist and communist leaders use nationalism. Che Guevara? Leon Trotsky?
The only similarity between authoritarian governments of the left and the right is authoritarianism.

Hitler blamed the "globalist" Jewish elites to rile up the German working class. He was most definitely a populist, just he used a ethnic spin on his narrative.
The whole notion of "it's the globalist elites!!" Was pretty much invented by the nazi propoganda mill, and people are still inadvertently using it try and instill fear into people.
