A right-wing interpretation of history links fascism and socialism. How accurate is it? A Tyee explainer.

The Nazi Party labelled itself socialist to mislead people. They wanted to be seen as the worker’s party. Same reason they used “volk” in Volkswagen ( the people’s car ).

I suspect the answer to why Pollievre does it is contained in my answer above.

The most important part of National Socialist party was the national part. It means the same thing as “America First” ( except Germany of course ).
