a key distinction between Socialism and Nazism that i failed to recognize earlier (and that's totally my bad) is that the former is done in the interest of The People and the latter is done in the interest of The State.

Hitler primarily viewed the German economy as an instrument of power and believed the economy was not about creating wealth and technical progress so as to improve the quality of life for a nation's citizenry, but rather that economic success was paramount for providing the means and material foundations necessary for military conquest

Socialism, on the other hand, aims to have industry, or aspects of it, controlled and managed by The State, but done so for the benefit of, or in the the interest of, "The People".

of course there are many governments/States that claim to be "Socialist", or to enact "Socialist" policies, but due to corruption the profits or gains of that industry are not distributed to the proper recipients. and when totalitarian/authoritarian regimes aim to take control over industries it's certainly easier to sell it to the people by claiming it's for them, rather than admitting the actual motivations.
