“Conservatives” love to say that Adolf Hitler was a “socialist.” You’ve heard it before: “Hitler was just as much of a pinko as Stalin!” But was he? No, for several reasons that I will present, in five parts.

First of all, “socialist” is, today, a common political label. It applies to a leftist/liberal. But Hitler’s National Socialism was a racial movement. You cannot, in good faith, attach a political label to a racial movement.
