The Socialists' aim is the effective elimination of private property.  The
communists do that by confiscating it, while the National Socialists (Nazis)
accomplish the goal by complete state control.  It doesn't matter who holds
a paper of ownership, the one that controls the property owns it.  The end
result is the same.  National Socialism is a true socialism.

> The Nazis were capitalists through and through, ...

Hey, you forgot a :-) after that, since this wasn't posted April 1.
Capitalism is an economic system, which is guided by private decisions of free
individuals.  If you think that this is what happened in Germany during the
National Socialists' rule, I've got this bridge that I'd like to sell you!

Communists and National Socialists have always fought each other.  The more
similar their aims, the more they hate the other system.  True capitalism
would not feel threatened by either.
Exercise for the student:  Which system do you think is most prevalent in
the US at this time?  Answer that after you filled in your IRS form 1040.
