Socialism and Nazism

As with most politics since the inception of Socialism (coined in pre-Marxist France as socialismehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism#Etymology), Socialism was an extensive influence upon Nazism. Socialism was coined by Henri de Saint-Simon, one of the founders of what would later be labelled utopian socialism.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism#Etymology
Volksgemeinschaft (German pronunciation: [ˈfɔlksɡəˌmaɪnʃaft]) is a German expression meaning "people's community".{ Peter Fritzsche. Life and Death in the Third Reich. President and Fellows of Harvard College, 2008. p. 38. } via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksgemeinschaft#cite_note-1 This expression originally became popular during World War I as Germans rallied in support of the war, and it appealed to the idea of breaking down elitism and uniting people across class divides to achieve a national purpose.
