Dla tych co sam Adi rozumiał przez socjalizm i czy był komunistą etc jego własne słowa (żeby zakończyć spór o to czy hitler wiedział że jest komunistą):

Hitler explained in a The Guardian interview (1923) why he called his party "socialist" when it proclaimed itself to be the enemy of the Communists...

"Why," I asked Hitler, "do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party programme is the very antithesis of that commonly accredited to socialism?"

"Socialism," he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, pugnaciously, "is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists."

"Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic."
