They like "spicy socialism", socialism + authoritarianism, bigotry is preferred.
National socialism has nothing to do with socialism. Its like North Korea calling themselves a democratic republic. Just play acting at being the good guys.
They still like social services, but only for the Nazis.
It's complicated and depends on who you're talking about. Classic Nazis prefer to ensure the workers are a productive exploited lot ala Henry Ford's idea of a utopia with the exploitive corporations tied heavily into the state, and the unproductive are to be shot.
Henry Ford is one of my favorite examples of an American exceptionalist specifically because you can bankroll a story about American Exceptionalism straight into authoritarian asshole.
I get a lot of mileage out of him.
