BLM I'll give you, but the Nazis were about as socialist as Gilgamesh, and you'll have to explain how a Klan that's openly supportive of Trump is made up of Democrats.

Look up the history of the Klan.  As far as them being openly supportive of Trump, some of their prominent members were, but how does that tie back to Trump exactly?  It's not like he went out and solicited the support of guys like David Duke.  Quite the opposite.  There were also Klan leaders who supported Clinton in the election.  So, even among the pointy hooded sect, there's some diversity.  Of course, the media won't actually report on the KKK leaders who endorsed Clinton, but that's not really surprising.  The Klan was founded by, and predominately run by democrats.  This was their enforcement arm throughout the civil rights movement.  Prominent elected officials like Robert Byrd, the dead senator from West Virgina who is revered by democrats, was also a prominent leader in the KKK.  

As far as Nazis go, yes, the were absolutely socialists.  They advocated for a strong, unquestioned centralized government.  Hell, SOCIALIST was in their party name (National Socialist German Workers Party).  Not like they were trying to hide it.  Bernie Sanders supporters would embrace the Nazi agenda if it wasn't for the whole jack booted aspect of the party.

They wanted to nationalize corporations.  They wanted to expand their social welfare programs.  They demanded profit sharing in large corporations.  They wanted the government to snap up private property for public use.  They wanted to nationalize education and make it free to all.  Their platform reads like a Bernie Sanders rally for the most part.
