Communism, Socialism, Fascism, and Capitalism in WWII.

by BerlinAndPraha

I'm missing something when I read about WWII and the fear that many nations had of Communism. Hitler hated Communism, even though his party was Socialist. From what I understand, Socialism leads to Communism (and is, hence, "Communism Lite") Why didn't he hate Capitalism MORE? It seemed that the Nazis hated Communism and Capitalism equally.

My friend told me that initially, France and the UK thought that the Nazis were less of a threat when they invaded the Sudetenland than the threat that Communism posed. Was "Communism" really a proxy term for "Soviet Union"?

Why wasn't there an aversion against Capitalism?

Finally, what aspects of an economic-distribution system bothered people so much?

u/Klesk_vs_Xaero wrote an interesting answer to a similar question about a month ago, including a follow up discussion in response to a question of mine about the fascists' opinion of liberalism (as distinct to capitalism).
