If the nation in question is a democracy, the difference is none.
National Socialism, when referring to the mid-twentieth century German Nazism, also has a fascist connotation, simply because Hitler and those following him existed within the context of war. So they used force to oppose their enemies. Hitler targeted Jews because the Jews targeted Germany. Hitler targeted France and Europe at large because France and Europe at large screwed over Germany entirely with the Treaty of Versailles. But Hitler still lead a socialist (and thus overreaching) state, depriving Germany's own citizens of basic liberties by transferring resources, controlling education, etc. Just like a "democratic socialism"
