Yeah, it's usually a good idea to keep Joe & Adolf out of political arguments.
But, to show the difference between economic theory and social policy, they're not bad. Both, as you said, dictatorial. An authoritarian social model, where all power is in one man. Yet regarding economics, Stalin was a lot further along to the left than Hitler.
Thinking of present day politics, observe the difference between social liberalism and economic liberalism.
most of this is semantics anyway, country-specific semantics. a blasphemy/heresy hobbyhorse for the century. bleh.
