READ BEFORE POSTING: There is one of me and many of you. If you cannot take the time to explicitly state which premise you are objecting to where I will point you back to the OP but will otherwise not engage you. Attempting to remember who is making which argument where and at what point is too much for one individual to take on. I fully accept that the intent of the people here was not to dog pile me. That is however the current effect. Thank you for your understanding.

I've been invited a member to do a debate here and I am going to assume this is the correct thread to do this. If not just let me know and I will move it.
Question to be obtained: The Nazi's were Socialist. True or False.
Premise 1) Socialism is defined as the workers owning the means of production.
Premise 2) Socialism rejects the notion of Private Property.
Premise 3) Socialism does not reject the notion of Personal Property.
Premise 4) State Capitalism/State Socialism are semantically the same.
Premise 5) Appropriation of a term is does not entail application of the values expressed in the term.
Premise 6) The Democratic Republic of Congo is neither democratic nor a republic.
Premise 7) Neither the Nazi party nor the Nazi government rejected Private Property.
Premise 8) The Nazi government arrested, detained in concentration camps, and outright murdered individuals for advocating the workers owning the means of production.
Conclusion: The Nazi Party was not a socialist party.
Which of the above premise do you dispute and on what grounds?
