Nazism was an explicitly socialist project, with society defined very narrowly, and everyone outside society othered into subhumanity. As long as you were the right kind of person, there would be a place for you in the fascist scheme. The opposite of socialist isn't capitalist; it's individualist. Nazis were not interested in promoting diversity in society. Exactly the opposite: conscious and explicit elimination of diversity. The essence of fascism is teamwork. A feeling of togetherness is its binding emotion, subsuming your identity into something bigger than you. (Only by understanding this can you understand why it's so appealing.) The bundle (fasces) that's tied together won't be broken. The problem is that whomever wields the bundle now has outsize power, and whatever is not part of the bundle is garbage to be swept away.
