It would have had a different name. Antisemitism was the central pillar of National Socialism.

  No, not really. It was a dumb ideology, but not as dumb as "points 1-10: Jews bad". Like almost any ideology that went anywhere, it had positive things that it valued, and these were more foundational than things (people...) that it wanted to remove or destroy.

    The core of Nazism was that it viewed humanity as a struggle to the death between different peoples (such as Germanic people and Slavs), and that elements such as Jews, disabled people, homosexuals, communists, were like a parasite slowly killing the German people if not destroyed. It's really one of the most destructive and self-defeating ideologies ever, much more so than e.g. fascism in Italy and Spain.

    Yes, really. I can't recommend reading Mein Kampf, because it sucks, but it's essential to have an informed opinion on this subject.
