So I got into a heated debate about whether hitler was socialist I think he definitely was using his own version of socialism but I coild be wrong. At the time was he considered to be using a version of socialism or is it considered now to be based in that. My logic is Stalin is considered communist even though he was mainly a dictator so why not hitler?
I am not looking to limit conversation here but /u/G0dwinslawyer provided an excellent answer to this previously.
I would add that dictatorship isn’t a specific philosophy per se and that both Hitler and Stalin were dictators within their relative political frameworks.
