Socialism and communism (Marxism) are not synonymous. Otherwise, Bismarck would be a communist, since he implemented socialist policies like social security. Socialism as a political theory is much older than Marx.

I understand the obvious and nuanced distinction between natsoc and Engels. They are still types of socialism regardless of how you want to couch it or rationalize it to yourself. Fascism is socialist. Socialism is Fascist.
The political spectrum is not a straight line, its more of a horseshoe, nearly a circle.
Yes, but the original statement was "fascist commie", not "fascist socialist". Considering one wanted to abolish all private property, and the other had Barons joining their ranks, it's an important distinction.
Fair point, its an issue of specificity in language. Good on you for being precise.
