Incomplete assessment - nationalism also precedes other, non-socialist systems which are way better.
Ironically that is the ACTUAL original slippery slope fallacy being committed, not the modern version of it (which is itself fallacious). To paraphrase, "nationalism starts the slippery slope to nazi" is the wrong logic because there exist other nationalist outcomes as well.
The logically correct time to play the slippery slope card is when a cause may (or not) have an unwanted effect, but definitely won't have any desired effects, therefore preventing the potential descent is logical.
