" Let that prove that 30’s Germany wasn’t socia list at all." Wrong. Na zis were textbook soci alists. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a soc ialist. That's what made H itler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

"The national socia lists ha te lef tists." Wrong. The entire N azi regime consisted of former members of other lef tist movements.

@decnet100 "Funny how some right-wingers feel the need to distance themselves from Nazis, " There is nothing to distance from really... Na zis were far-left social ists after all. The complete opposite.

@KingMob. : Nothing to do with far-right whatsoever.

@decnet100 "You're missing the main ingredient - "national". They sat on the far-right in parliament, making them right-wingers by the very definition of the word " Wrong. They were far-left socialists. Makes no difference where they sit. Nationalism is devotion to the State which sees all other states as inferior and in competition. Right wing ideologies do not embrace Nationalism, but rather Patriotism. In all Right wing ideologies, the Individual is superior to the State. In socialist ideologies the collective (such as the State) is superior to the individual.

"The right and the left extremes are so similar. " Wrong. They are the polar opposites. The reason why you think they are "similar" is that you do not understand what extreme right even means. For example dude in this video, was a far-leftist still. So yes, when you compare two different far-left ideologies, they tend to be similar... duh.

@JimJK : It's far-left actually, just like every collectivist and soci alist ideology.

@decnet100 " I always wonder what the entry requirement for being a Na zi is, according to actual Na zis." Well it should be easy to know if you have ever read what Hit ler wrote or said (like his speech titled "Why We Are Anti-Sem ites")... for starters, one needs to be antise mitic, socia list, nationalist, collectivist and believe in arya nism.

@mucky1488 : Fascism was a very specific political ideology based on national syndicalism and Hegelian philosophy, invented by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile. It's not a category of any kind. Nazism was a completely separate ideology, and so was bolshevism etc.
