Their economic policy was based on many socialist principles. Of course Nazis also were fascists, but communists in eastern Europe were fascists, as well. They only used socialism as thinly veiled disguise. Calling Nazis the opposite of socialists is simply wrong. Both use socialism to control the economy, only their make-up looks differently.

Are you serious? The Nazis privatized state-owned businesses on a massive scale, banned unions and forced membership in a state-controlled 'union' with the only goal being increasing productivity. The only economics they had in common with socialism was their generous welfare state, assuming that you were the right kind of person.

Hey, quick quiz, what does the name "Nazi party" mean? National Socialist Party! Guys, seriously, that's literally in the name. You can't knock someone for referring to them as socialists when they literally called themselves socialists. And we don't have any evidence that OP referred to them as socialists to any more extent than that.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (also known as North Korea) Is neither Democratic, a Republic or for the people. Political movements can call themselves whatever they want, the Nazis were still not socialists. You can absolutely blame a college student for not knowing that when they are writing a paper for a college class on the subject of Communism and Socialism.
