The origin of the wrong idea that the nazis were lefties

[HisGrace]

"Classic" fascism was its own thing, not conservative or liberal, left or right wing. On economics they would probably be considered centrist/third way in Europe and left of center in America. They were socially authoritarian, but it was a revolutionary ideology that wanted to rebuild society, so it's by definition not conservative. Nor is it liberal since they didn't support open discourse and individuals making their own decisions with logic. Most the "fascists" marching around today probably have pretty right wing views, though.

The arrogance is in this thread is ing astounding. Instead of legitimate debate, just a bunch of junk comments. I probably should have known better considering the A-grade accuracy of most of the predictions on here for HRC last year.

I'd like to continue, but if it's just going to be a flood of junk then ing forget it.

Bye!

Users have just stated facts and made arguments contradicting the idea that the Nazis should be considered left wing. Who cares if they're "arrogant"? I thought the modern right cared about "facts, not feelings"? If you disagree feel free to research the topic on your own to find out if anything said in this thread is wrong.
