The Nazi's were not Socialists, despite their name. You couldn't get more right wing than a Nazi.
There is a distinct difference between Socialism and Communism, which is what your equating these people with. They are not the same thing at all.
And also, I will say it again, whenever someone brings up the Nazis these days someone has to bring up Communism and point out they killed even more people, thereby implying that the Nazi's were not so bad. The Germans don't get a pass for Belsen and Auschwitz. This is what is worrying the belittling of Nazi crime, rather then an infatuation of the part of the PC brigade with Socialism as a cause. Don't make the mistake Americans do, where anything Socialist (meaning communist) is anti American. Scandinavia, Canada and New Zealand are very successful socialist nations.
Socialism is a responsible civilised community taking care of its members. Communism is a leveling of society that you need to kill ten per cent of your population to implement.
(Although admittedly, those above have stolen a 1930's Communist-style poster motif)
