same thing, different country. communist == nazi/socialists == power-hungry nobodies foolishly believing they are special and creating a society where everybody gets a share, but in actuality are just creating an oligarchy where they are disposed of as easily as any other person who has become doubleplus unuseful.

Under Communism the government completely owns all businesses. Factories, banks everything. They then pay basically the same wage to everyone no matter what they do.

National Socialism on the other hand allowed people to retain ownership of the businesses, but forced business owners to pay all employees on a share by share basis (think pirate ship). So while the CEO (captain) may get 12 shares of the profit, if the business makes good money the single share of even the janitor could buy a nice house, 2 cars, kids to college etc.

So yes, by definition they are both forms of socialism... they are not "the same".
