    Its not just because of the name. The common history of collectivist thought is well document hand has been for decades. The first few Chapters of 'The Road to Serfdom' (originally planed to be separate book) have a whole intellectual history of what became Nazism and how it relates to Socialism.

It can certainty be argued that Hitler took the original NSDAP into a different direction then it would have gone otherwise. And Hitler himself certainty wasn't much thinker in terms of that history. He was much more a pure German nationalist and a race theorist. But Hitler did deliberately build on that intellectual tradition.
