  1. By definition, Libertarianism is far-right. You people keep confusing right wing and american conservatism for some random reason. Meanwhile, when it comes to the modern day political spectrum, Libertarianism / Minarchism and all the ideologies based on Classical Liberalism are on the far-right side. Extreme right would be Anarcho-Capitalism. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

The confusion comes from the simple fact that you poor souls have been gaslight to believe, that certain 3rd position socialist movements (Fascism, National Socialism) were somehow on the right side, when they were on the far-left, on the right side of Marxism.

  5.  @ToyotaTom04  "The literal first use of the word “libertarian” in a political context historically was in reference to anarchism. " Libertarianism, properly known as Classical Liberalism has never advocated for the abolishment of the government.

  17. The fundamental differences between left-wing and right-wing ideologies center around the the rights of individuals vs. the power of the government. Left-wing beliefs are based on the idea that society is best served with an expanded role for the government. People on the right believe that the best outcome for society is achieved when individual rights and civil liberties are paramount and the role — and especially the power — of the government is minimized.

  18.  @m.r4841  "The Naz is were extre me rig ht win g capital ists and conse rvatives" Wrong. Nazi sm was a tota litarian f ar-l eft, soci alist ideology. They opp osed capit alism and was right from mar xism, not "ri ght wi ng" by any means.

  19.  @sacrilegioussasquatch  "they were not in fact socia lists. " Wrong. You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socia list. That's what made Hitl er a soci alist. He may have been right of the Bolsh eviks, but he was still a soc ialist lef tist as he believed in strong central government control. Hi tler outright declared himself a soci alist in M ein Kam pf, just not the Marx ist international or full Sov iet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socia lism from the rest of the Marx ist crowd.

  20.  @sacrilegioussasquatch  "the NS DAP was called that, because at the time, socia lism appealed to the struggling working class." It was called that because they were advocating for socia lism on a national level and wanted the "intern ational soci alist" i.e. mar xists to join them. "But we Nati onal Socia lists wish precisely to attract all socia lists, even the Commu nists; we wish to win them over from their international camp to the national one.“ — Ad olf Hitl er

  21.  @sacrilegioussasquatch  "The na zis were anti lef tists " Wrong. They were an ti-bol shevi sm. The entire Na zi regime consisted of former members of other left ist movements.

  38.  @MightyMarioBros378  "Hitl er was fa r ri ght and the ideology of Na zi's were Fa r Ri ght " Wrong. Hitl er did not regard himself as being either on the left or on the right, but wanted to overcome both extremes – not in the ‘middle’, however, but with a new extreme in which both left and right were abolished. Naz ism was a form of totalit arian f ar-lef t socia lism on modern day standards.

  42. "as State Controlled Capitalism. " No. There was no capitalism of any kind whatsoever and there is no such thing as "state controlled capitalism" in the first place. It was socialism, and National Syndicalism to be more precise.
