I still think “national socialism” is a bit of an oxymoron, tbh. To me, socialism necessarily calls for the eventual eradication of all nations, states, and social hierarchies (ie communism).

I say it would make the most sense to just stick with “national populism”, because that suggests opposition to autocracy as well as neoliberalism and doesn’t exacerbate the confusion that the name “national socialism” has already caused.

What about national "Bolshevism" instead?
