>>510216393A Nazi (short for National Socialist) followed a fascist, racist ideology centered on Aryan supremacy, authoritarianism, and genocide — most infamously under Hitler’s regime. A socialist nationalist, by contrast, typically emphasizes social ownership, workers’ rights, and national self-determination without racial hierarchies or fascist control. Saying “socialist nationalist” instead of “national socialism” is important because it separates the idea of combining social welfare and national identity from the historical baggage of Nazism, which used “National Socialism” as a misleading label to mask its violently fascist goals.
