Nobody hates socialists more than other, different socialists.
The Trotskyites and Stalinists are both unquestionably socialist, but all Trotskyites were executed by the Stalinists.
The "two minutes of hate" against Emmanuel Goldstein in George Orwell's 1984 was specifically based on the intense hatred of Trotskyites by Stalinists.
Therefore, the argument that fascists couldn't be socialist because they hate other socialists is a bad argument.
