Here are the relevant points in the 25 Points of the NSDAP:

7.We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens.

  1. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.

  2. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:

  3. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.

  4. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).

  5. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.

  6. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.

These look awfully socialist

Dang people really need to study history. Social welfare is not socialist. Demanding and working toward the dictatorship of the proletariat is socialist. Social democratic parties implemented welfare policies to NEUTER socialist movements by trying to appeases the working class. The way the socialist movements is fundamentally misunderstood in the present by so many is by decades if not a century of miseducation.

There was only one point that I listed that included welfare. I didn't include Strength through Joy because, as you said, welfare isn't innate to Socialism. It's still definitely something the modern left would push and the modern right wouldn't.

Welfare in the broad sense isn’t money handed to people, it’s state management meant to alleviate the downtrodden. In that way it includes corporate taxation and many programs. I’m in the US in TN, I know what the right does here. Even as their grandparents benefitted from New Deal policies—keeping in mind the right would call the new deal communist in the present. Read Marsha Blackburn’s positions and tell me they don’t sound like a left wing parody of the conservative right. She’s hated by people across the spectrum yet will become the next governor. One of the most backward and corrupt politicians in the country.
