It's funny because NAZI is short for Nationalsozialistische, which is German for National Socialist.

The Nazis were members of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei).

Literal socialists.

Leftists are always quick to say they weren't really socialists, and back on Reddit I couldn't argue against it because anytime I happen to mention the Nazi economy was a command economy they all freak out.

And for the people who take this argument because that wasn't according to some particular definition; A common feature of Marxist ideologies is hating rival Marxists

I explain to them that in Greece there is the KKE - Communist Party of Greece

and there is also M-L KKE and KKE M-L

M-L stands for Marxists Leninist, so does the other M-L

In the last election M-L KKE and KKE M-L joined, but that was it. In a country of 10 million people...

The "left wing" party that won the elections in 2015 was literally a coalition of the left that got 2-3% before it won, the SY in SYRIZA stands for coalition

For a group of individuals that believe so much in working together they can barely work together

Nazi's weren't Marxists. Not because they killed communists but because Fascism was literally created as an alternative to Marxist Communism. They fought for the same consumer base. Fascism embraced socialism but rejected the aspects of globalist class warfare that Marxism was based on. Instead it substituted the elements of globalism and class identity for elements of nationalism and ethnic identity.
