Your quote.
"No matter how many LEFTWING sources you put forth claiming Hitler wasn't socialist"

It will take some research to find that information, but it's there and you can find it.
Auschwitz concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager Auschwitz [ˈaʊʃvɪts] ( listen)) was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II.

Regardless, I believe that I have been able to thoroughly debunk the notion that Hitler was a socialist. Now do you wish to comment on a topic covered in the OP, or are you hell-bent on trying to call Nazi's socialists when you have proven that you do not even know the definition of the word?

My Grandmother, the person who raised me was German... She was so German her brothers name
was ADOLF, they had to leave Germany because they feared the retribution of the COMMUNISTS
once it was evident Berlin was going to fall. Sad to say that some of my ancestors were Nazis
and they were most certainly right wing, self determination, culture purity and tradition were
very big components to the ideology. Southern conservatism in America is very similar, less
the christianity and vocalizations about big government. Both factions fear/ed social progress
that could threaten traditions, like marriage and family life...
Second of all, I presented evidence to substantiate what I stated... All you brought was that your grandmother was from Germany which doesn't really prove anything at all.

WOW...so you don't know that you need socialism in order for communism to exist?... You don't know this either?... No wonder you are so confused about Hitler and the fact that he was a socialist... You don't know jack about socialism...

Socialism means a classless society. Unlike under capitalism, where a tiny minority owns the vast majority of wealth and the means of producing it, everyone would share equally in the ownership of all the means of production, and everyone able to do so would work. There wouldn't be separate classes of owners and workers. The economy would be administered by the workers themselves through industrially based, democratic "associations of free and equal producers," as Marx described it.
The workers collectively would decide what they want produced and how they want it produced. They would control their own workplaces and make the decisions governing their particular industry. With the abolition of the capitalist expropriation of the lion's share of workers' product, all workers would receive, directly or indirectly, the full value of the products they create, minus only the deductions needed to maintain and improve society's facilities of production and distribution.
Far from being a state-controlled society, socialism would be a society WITHOUT A STATE. Marx once said that "the existence of the state is inseparable from the existence of slavery." Consonant with this truth, socialism would have a GOVERNMENT, but not a separate, coercive body standing above society itself -- a state. The people themselves, through the democratic associations of workers, would BE the government.

Maybe there is a problem with partisan ignorance in the U.S., but it's definitely not ALL conservatives.
Paranoid delusion abounds in their posts and there is absolutely no reasoning or debating
