....

when you say nazism is socialism you're implying it is leftist. ....

Actually, it was the NAZIS that said they themselves were socialist. Their very name.

There may be some fine lines between corrupt fascist country and a corrupt socialist country, I am not sure it is worth arguing without very precise defining of the terms first.

it was a reaction to the growth of socialism and they stole the name to confuse the working class. the differences in its politics, in the economy, are huge. socialists were persecuted and killed. as I wrote before, don't be fooled by Hitler. it's 2020 and he's still fooling people.

This is an article that claims the Nazis were not socialists.

I tend toward the latter.

The Nazi party campaigned on socialist ideas (and lost), and labeled themselves socialists, but as soon as they assumed power Hitler immediately had the senior officials of every opposition political party murdered along with their families and other supporters.

Then he invaded a bunch of countries and forced every man to either fight for him or have their family murdered.

He murdered almost 10 million people just because they were Jewish, gay, disabled or suspected of criticizing the Nazi party.

Using the Nazi party as an example of why someone shouldn't vote for Bernie is pretty silly unless you believe Bernie has some secret agenda to become a dictator.
