NAZIS called themselves National Democratic Socialist Workers Party.

No, the word "Democratic" was not in the party name. They were the National Socialist German Workers Party -- "National" and "German" to make clear they weren't any of those internationalist Marxist socialist scum, they were good German nationalists.

The original name was simply "German Workers Party."

There was once a leftist wing of the party that took the "socialist" part seriously, and expected the Nazi political revolution to be followed by a social revolution, with redistribution of wealth and levelling of social classes. (They were not Marxists -- their demon was Jewish capitalists, not capitalists in general.) But those were purged in the Night of Long Knives, and throughout the Nazi regime, any rich man's wealth was safe if he was not a Jew.

Of course, as it worked out, they were socialist like North Korea is democratic.

In their final contested election, they weren't National, nor Socialist, nor democratic, and not for the workers. They were just for the party elite.
