How in the hell are you still expecting us to accept that the Nazis were in any way shape or form left wing?

The Nazis regulated business and funded abortion.

Wow. Is it really that easy to qualify as left wing to you?

Their abortion program was strictly for undesired races. Abortion on a full-blooded Aryan woman was very strictly outlawed.

In the meantime, they were hyper-nationalist, hyper-militarist, and regulated business only to the level in which they would contribute to the war effort. ANY left-wing objection to the Nazi party would get you thrown in a forced labor camp.

In other words, you're talking nonsense.

The Nazis, as suggested in the f**king name of the party, were socialists who wanted workers’ rights!

Aryan workers' rights. Nationalism first and foremost. As you can tell by the fact that they killed everyone they even suspected of being socialist.

It's just a name. Hitler wrote a fricking book about how much he hated Marxism and wanted to subvert the selling points of socialism for his own right-wing agenda. It was not a secret. And we all know it.

Sadly, I’ve never read Mein Kampf, but I can tell even from the Nazi anthem that the Nazis were left-wing. My proof from the lyrics: “Comrades shot by the red front and reactionaries.”
At the time, people who opposed communism were considered reactionaries. Since nationalism is about preserving the nation and its culture, nationalists don’t typically describe their opponents as reactionaries. The comrades being referred to were most likely fellow Nazis.
Furthermore, the Nazis wanted to suppress religion, which was considered right-wing, and many of the Jews murdered in concentration camps were capitalists.

"At the time, people who opposed communism were considered reactionaries." No. Nazis had an open ambition to end the Weimer Republic - a liberal democracy - and a reactionary was anyone who opposed their radical agenda i.e. people who believed in the Weimer Republic.

"nationalists don’t typically describe their opponents as reactionaries" These ones did. The Nazis had a lot of changes in mind and had bones to pick with anyone who wanted moderate changes that could be implemented through democracy.

"Furthermore, the Nazis wanted to suppress religion" This is by FAR the most ignorant thing you've said. The Nazis had 3 clear instructions to German women: Kinder, Kirche, Kuche: have kids, go to church, and cook dinner. If you didn't know that, you CANNOT lecture people on Nazi history because that is Nazi Germany 101. The Nazis saw the Protestant church as a traditionally German institution and they wanted to put it at the center of every German household. Whoever told you that the Nazis suppressed religion was just flat-out lying to you.

"many of the Jews murdered in concentration camps were capitalists." Well done, genius, many of the Jews in Germany were capitalists, but then, Germany was a capitalist country. Many of EVERYBODY were capitalists. Including the big businesses that backed the Nazi party.

Everything you are writing is incorrect nonsense not supported by the clear records of history. National Socialists were and are ultra-nationalist, socially conservative, anti-egalitarian and fascist. They do not belong on the left wing. They are squarely far-right.

Hitler on April 12, 1922, speaking at Munich: "There are only two possibilities in Germany; do not imagine that the people will forever go with the middle party, the party of compromises; one day it will turn to those who have most consistently foretold the coming ruin and have sought to dissociate themselves from it. And that party is either the Left: and then God help us! for it will lead us to complete destruction - to Bolshevism, or else it is a party of the Right which at the last, when the people is in utter despair, when it has lost all its spirit and has no longer any faith in anything, is determined for its part ruthlessly to seize the reins of power - that is the beginning of resistance of which I spoke a few minutes ago. Here, too, there can be no compromise - there are only two possibilities: either victory of the Aryan, or annihilation of the Aryan and the victory of the Jew."

Also just think about how silly it sounds to say that the Nazis were the opposite of the Soviet Union. It’s much more obvious that the Nazis were trying to rival the USSR in communism. Even if everything you said about Nazis being right-wing, they couldn’t possibly have been in the far-right because Nazis still weren’t right-wing on everything.

Jesus, you're really committed to this aren't you? The Nazis did not collectivize farms. They kept big business enterprises. Mercedes would not have been present in a Soviet. Volkswagen, BMW, and Hugo Boss would not have existed in a communist system the way they flourished in Nazi Germany. And one more time: Their movement was in fear of the rise of Leninism in Russia, not an attempt to franchise it out.

Stop talking rubbish: you clearly aren't up to speed on your subject knowledge here.

capitalism doesnt work and the nazis were far right

the mental gymnastics you're using to defend your biased compass is embarrassing and i hope the year that's passed gave you some critical thinking skills lol

Then what do you define as "right-wing"? The only rational definition that can be given is that the right supports the free market. What else do you find biased about the political compass?
