    Hitler hated that term but the party was already formed. Put the emphasis on the National part of national socialism.

          Yep. Hitler also hated Christianity IIRC, but allied with the church for their financial aid and the support of religious voters. They definitely weren’t above using the name of something that they hated and actively attacked to allow them to grab more power, and it makes them neither socialist nor Christian to have done so.

            Seriously? They didn’t start street brawls with the church and kill them. They did that with socialists. There was no teaming up, there was no alliance, there was no marketing trick. You’re making up revisionist history and you seriously need to learn what happened and stop spreading misinformation.
