He wasn't a socialist. He was about as socialist as any modern western nation. It was his brutal Antifa style political tactics that brought him to power, and the Democrat style Authoritarianism (must salute, speak certain words, show absolute loyalty to the party, etc.) and scapegoating on racial lines (Jews then, whites now) is why people hate and fear him.
Downvoted by morons who don't know what socialism is.
He was fascist economically which is just a branch of socialism.
He had socialist ideals just that the socializing of the means of production were to serve the state, not the proletariat like original Soviet style socialism. The state was also the 'master race' ideal.
Hitler viewed that he could buy power through regulations. The business leaders would be forced to follow his command otherwise he would branch off and actually nationalize the means of production if they didn't submit. His core ideal was that businesses should be owned by the state or regulated so hard that they basically are run by the state, and of course in both scenarios they must serve the state.
Well Hitler and the Nazis disagree with you, certainly thought they were Socialists, and named themselves accordingly. Socialism is state (central) control over the means of production and is frequently confused with Socialist parties and movements that add other, frequently differing, beliefs such as worker advocacy, war-opposition, environmentalism, etc. Trying to argue that they aren't Socialist base on disagreements on those additional issues is just people engaging in the the no-true-Scotsman fallacy. Furthermore, some argue that since Nazis left many business owners in control of their companies, they didn't control the means. However, they dictated everything that mattered to those business and in effect, they formed the same control hierarchy that a Communist government would set up over production.
