That isn&#x27;t socialism nor what socialism purports to be.<p>Socialism at it&#x27;s core can be distilled down to how labor relates to its means of production. That&#x27;s it. If workers themselves own and manage the facilities and materials necessary for employment, that is socialism.<p>Individual liberty and free markets are not contradicted by the tenets of socialism. It can and has been argued that individual liberties can be strengthened through such a system. Market economies are what much of socialist thought revolves around. Again, socialism is defined by how labor relates to the means of production and that is it.<p>Neither of the two are required for a functioning capitalist economy. Freedom of speech, religion, movement and association aren&#x27;t guarantees and is down right outlawed in much of the world that&#x27;s implemented a capitalist system. You&#x27;d be hard pressed to find a single truly &quot;free market&quot; in practice at any point in time.<p>Yours seems like a judgment stemming from an ideology rather than one coming from a historic perspective. You aren&#x27;t doing yourself any favors intellectually if you want to continue claiming Nazism is a socialist ideology. It is hard to have a historic discussion with someone whose arguments are based on a feeling rather than documented history and accepted definitions.
