Is Socialism another name for White Nationalism? If so, why aren’t Republicans for Socialism?

No. And just because the Nazis called themselves National Socialists does not mean socialists in this country or any other are the same types. Republicans have fought the New Deal from the word go. There was to be a universal health care component, but that was shot down by the AMA who hired two political operatives who went on to help Rs with everything. Try reading Lepore's These Truths, a recent history of the US if you want to understand what has happened. What Rs really want is socialism for the top (the biggest takers are at the top and always have been since the agricultural revolution) and capitalism for everyone else. My neighbor is a retired banker and former R and he has given the best analysis of capitalism from the inside that I have heard. It isn't pretty.

And just because the Fascist Party in the USA Today wants to call themselves Republicans or Christians doesn’t mean that they are. They misrepresent almost everything.
