National Socialism,[a] abbreviated to Nazism, is a fascist ideology developed by Adolf Hitler. Nazism is based on psuedoscientific racism of favoring an "Aryan" race to unite the German people and antisemitism to distract the working class. Nazism also incorporated anticommunism.

Nazism was the offical state ideology in the Third German Reich.

Nomenclature

Use of 'Socialism'

National Socialism is not a socialist ideology, despite the noun being Socialism. Hitler used the term socialism as a popular and effective slogan to push Nazism to the German people. Hitler was against socialism (as the means of production) and Marxism.[1]
