Why the Nazis were not left wing, straight from the Nazi horses' mouths.

But first, let's remind ourselves of one of their victim's own words, Lutheran pastor, national conservative and an earlier supporter of Hitler, Martin Niemöller, who was interned in Dachau..

"..Our adopted term 'Socialist' has nothing to do with Marxian socialism.."

"We chose the Red colour of our posters after careful and thorough reflection, in order to provoke the Left.."

"..it is a party of the Right which at the last.. is determined for its part ruthlessly seize the reins of power.."

Industrialists were an elite who had "a right to lead".

"..Since the NSDAP is fundamentally based on the principle of private property.."

"..We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class.."

And if you think a war economy was proof that the Nazis were Leftist, that would have probably meant that the USA and UK were more Marxist than Fidel Castro.

A decent tick list.

And to return to national conservative and early supporter of Adolf Hitler, Martin Niemöller..

In short, if you think the Nazis were Leftist socialists, especially because they use the word 'Socialist' in their party's name, give your head a wobble.

You might also want to read about Roger Griffin's theory of palingenetic ultranationalism. When you hear or read a politician or social media celeb banging on about national or European rebirth, alarms should be ringing in your head. http://jhahistory.blogspot.com/2017/01/theories-of-nazism-and-fascism.html

Almost forgot: socialism was immoral.

And I encourage anyone to take the time to watch this.

Jordan Peterson Doesn't Understand Nazism

This explains all.

"..Strasserism had already been defeated at the Bamberg Conference of 1926.. Hitler brought the dissidents back into line, denouncing them as "communists".. He heightened the party's alliance with businesses small and large.." https://www.abc.net.au/religion/nazism-socialism-and-the-falsification-of-history/10214302
