Yes, but that doesn't mean they were Socialists. Communism and Socialism aren't the same thing. The real name of the Nazi party was the National Socialist party, but they were hardcore fascists.

Socialism can actually co-exist with different governments. Portions of the EU show this. While not entirely socialist, socialist elements improve the QoL. Health care, public transportation, roads, schools, etc. All elements of socialism. People that get up in arms over universal health care have no problems driving on public roads or sending their kids to public schools.

Now, about that whole AA/jetBlue thing.....
