Communism is a leftist economic philosophy that arose in the mid-to-late 1800's. It seeks to create a stateless, moneyless, egalitarian society where the workers control the factories, mines, farms, etc that they work on. It doesn't sound too bad, but in practice (such as in North Korea, Cuba, China, and Russia), it hasn't ever actually worked out quite so well. The countries that have tried it have always wound up being dictatorships or oligarchies where the workers have very little power.

Nazism is a far right political ideology that arose in Germany at the end of World War I. It was profoundly racist (especially antisemitic), but otherwise the Nazis played fairly loosely with their beliefs until they took power. Once in power, they set up a totalitarian right-wing Dictatorship that focused on militarism, nationalism, racism, "traditional values", and authoritarianism. They largely kept in place the capitalist economic system that had preceded their rise to power, although they notably removed Jewish people from the economy. The ultimate goal of Nazism was to create an empire in central and eastern Europe that would be inhabited only by "pure" Germans; all other peoples would be eliminated (either by being forced to leave, or by simply being killed).

Is this true Nazism was the opposite of Communism and socialism because they taught all people were equal?

While Nazism, communism, and socialism all emerged in the context of early 20th-century Europe, they fundamentally differ in their ideologies. Nazism, rooted in extreme nationalism and racial superiority, opposed the idea of equality, promoting a hierarchical society based on race. In contrast, communism and socialism advocate for economic equality and the redistribution of wealth, emphasizing that all people should have equal rights and opportunities. Therefore, it is inaccurate to say Nazism is the opposite of communism and socialism based solely on their views of equality.
