.National Socialism is a very different concept than the modern day, Bernie Sanders-esque socialism. National socialism was most successfully implemented in the real world by none other than the führer of Germany, Adolf Hitler. The National Socialist German Worker's Party, often abbreviated to the Nazi Party, came to power in the late 1930's in Germany, and set up a totalitarian state.
National Socialism and Fascism are often thought to be interchangeable, but they are in fact two distinct ideologies. Fascism is exemplified better by Benito Mussolini, who was good friends with Hitler. National Socialism focuses mostly on the 'national' part, as extreme nationalism, be it ethnic, religious, or civic, is very important. In Germany, ethnic nationalism of aryans and the preservation of that race was part of the policy of the government. National Socialism is an extreme authoritarian ideology, and mostly in the center of right/left wing. The economics of national socialism, at least by Hitler, pulled Germany out of a very big depression. National socialism is against free markets, as several industries were nationalized under Hitler. Hitler rejected both capitalism and communism.
