>"T-They destroyed trade unions!"
Soviets did the same.
>"T-They threw other Socialists in jail"
Socialists regimes do that.
>"They privatized industry!!"
Criticized capitalism and made sure every business was Nazi compliant
>"N-Nazis aren't Socialists because...b-because they aren't okay!?"
Why are Lib Historians so retarded on this topic?

While also expropriating property from their owners, which the nazis did not.

Not for being socialists they don't. They throw them in jail for being wrong about socialism.
>Criticized capitalism and made sure every business was Nazi compliant
Socialists do not have a monopoly on criticism of capitalism and they bringing industry into regime compliance is not evidence of socialism, those industries retained their proprietors.
If you had to define it in those terms, National Socialism would be a Germany specific form of class collaborationism. Wherein both capital and workers cooperate.

Socialist regimes didn't usually throw other socialists in jail desu
maybe if they were run by paranoid freaks like Stalin, or if the socialists in question made a real coup attempt ala the left SRs, but the Soviets under Lenin offered Kropotkin, no doctrinaire bolshevik, a cabinet post and a state funeral (he rejected both)
There was usually a fair bit of tolerance for left intellectual dissent in the USSR and the later Eastern bloc as long as you didn't go full Trotskyite and weren't a puppet ruler acting too independently. Nothing like the Nazis (or, shamefully, the Stalin-era Soviets) going full purge.

>conflating lolberg boomerchuds with NatSoc Chuds
This is how you tell someone’s a lefty. They don’t understand the diversity in their opposition. To a lefty it’s just one big Nazi Christian Conservative Capitalist

It’s intersectionality to blame. Intersectionality doesn’t allow for the analysis necessary to identify opposing forces accurately.
Because Christianity capitalism and Nazi intersect at racism they consider them all the same.

I'm not defending socialism. I am arguing that it is different from National Socialism, despite being in the name.

No, it's actually fairly normal sectarian behaviour. All ideologies function like religions and all religions function like ideologies.

They only did so selectively for political reasons, nothing like the collectivizations and nationalizations seen in, V.G., the USSR.
