Common Confusion
Edit
Nationalism and Socialism are traditionaly opposed as different ideologies. Nationalism has pride as it's defining trait, as it's concept is to put forth ones nationality over all. Socialism, however, is usualy the opposite: thinking of everyone (including immigrants). Nationalist socialism is social aids for the nationality in question only. For example, Germany was very socialist (giving aids, jobs) to the poorer classes, but only for those deemed part of the "supperior race".
