    I mean, they were against capitalism, and advocated the nationalization of services like health care and public transportation. These are socialist values. They even claimed many Christians were political enemies of Germany.

    Granted, later on it would likely be more accurate to call them “Hitlerists,” because Hitler literally didn’t care about socialism or nationalism and used them only as a stepping stool to get what he wanted. But the point still stands that their values that got their party to popularity were socialist in nature.

      No, you got that very wrong.

      If you really want to ask for values in their ideology, it was the values of fascism (not much in terms of ‘values’ according to today’s understanding)

      But it wasn’t the values that brought them votes at all. It was populism and terrorism.
