None of those objectives are socialist. You can make a weak case for the last one, but that's been done before socialism and even most non-Ron Pauls would accept it today.
Equality for the people. The volk did not include some people which were then exterminated. Ideas do not exist in a vacuum, there is always a context to consider. Dr. Goebbels was not making shit up when he spoke of freedom for the German people, he literally meant and believed in the freedom from Jewish cum foreign influence and the possibility of the volk to make their own destiny.
