Hitler was on the Right side of the spectrum. . .

Define far right? I guess it depends on your personal definition...

The far Right is characterized by adopting close to anarchist values, letting individuals do as they please, and eschewing centralized and heavily organized economic systems.

Typical far Right types:

Survivalist movement. They are close to "Every man for himself" in their social views. They are highly skeptical of government. They horde things like gold and supplies for when anarchy comes.

Militia movements. Small bands of individuals who are anti-government and avoid using things like the banking system.

Sovereign citizens. Another group of highly individualistic persons that reject government and make their own rules.

1% bikers. Often outright criminals and outlaws. Make their own internal rules. Are anti-government. See no issue with 'Might is right' taking what they want by force.

All of his actual, enacted, social and economic policies were on the Left.
As with other far Left governments, Hitler enacted an absolute dictatorship to achieve his ends.
That Hitler pushed Nationalism over Internationalism doesn't preclude his being on the Left.

So outlawing Labor Unions is a leftist’s ideology? Banning and executing leftist political groups and individuals is a leftist’s ideology? Working with and rewarding leading capitalists is a leftist’s ideology? Aligning with noted existing right wing political entries is a leftist’s ideology? Promotion of extreme nationalism is a leftist’s ideology? Banning artistic expression is a leftist’s ideology? Etc.,etc., etc

About the only thing Hitler did leaning left was build the Autobahnen, and that was initially constructed for military purposes, and, label his party mational socialism, which was as applicable as current day North Korea calling itself a Democrat Republic

If you restrict this to actual historians who have explicitly argued that Hitler/National Socialism belonged on the left, rather than just saying Nazism had some socialist features, there are several examples:


  • Joachim Fest — one of Germany’s best-known Hitler biographers. In a 2003 essay titled Was Adolf Hitler ein Linker? (“Was Adolf Hitler a Leftist?”), Fest wrote that there were “good reasons” to place National Socialism “on the left rather than the right politically,” and argued that Hitler’s system had more in common with Stalin’s totalitarianism than Mussolini’s fascism.

Comment just on the first on your list. Once "totalitarianism" becomes the system of government it is no longer liberalism and if it's still leftism it's a corrupt version leftism.

Who said America deserved 9-11?

Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker made the remark that "America deserved 9/11" during a 2019 live stream.

He is a close friend of the Democrat running for the Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed.

Do better with current events…you are basically a dummy.

Did Lenin et al, and Russian communists, hunt down and eliminate the Imperial Russian household? Opposing political parties were banned and their membership were either shot or sent to labor camps. This included the Mensheviks, Trotskyites, Anarchists, and Socialist Revolutionaries, among others. All were factions on the political Left, but that didn't stop the Communists from rounding them up and getting rid of them.

Stalin sent assassins to Mexico to kill Trotsky when he fled the country. That's how far the Communists went to eliminating their competition.

You do know that socialism and communism are not the samething? One is political, the other economic

Lenin eliminated anyone who opposed him, left or right, it wasn’t motivated out of ideology, but rather aimed at absolute control

You ignore the meaning of words. Your word games won't work, Marty.

originating from the French Revolution where monarchists sat on the right side of the chamber of The National Assembly, revolutionaries on the Left.
Click to expand...
No such National Assembly during the French Revolution, Marty.
The terms 'right' and 'left' refer to seating in Congress. Democrats and other socialists on the left, and Republicans and other conservatives on the right.
martin said:
The terms thereafter came to differentiate democratic (leftwing) government from authoritarian (rightwing) government, leftwing-liberals from rightwing-conservatives.

Go learn what 'authority' means, Marty. Buzzword fallacy. While you're at it, go learn what 'socialism', 'fascism', and 'communism' mean as well.

martin said:
Confusion sometimes comes in when liberal government programs intended to benefit citizens are mistakenly thought of as right-wing authoritarianism, which they are not. The Nazis were rigidly authoritiarian and it is that that marks them as Right-wing.

Socialism does not benefit citizens. All socialism is based on theft of wealth.
Authority does not mark anything 'left' or 'right'.
'Authority' is not an economic form.
Socialism is an economic form. It is based on theft of wealth. It is what Democrats WANT. Socialism is typically implemented by oligarchy or dictatorship. Democrats want to discard the Constitution of the United States and all State constitutions.

Hitler was a fascist and communist. He was also an elitist. He was also racist. He stole the wealth of nations, including Germany. It is just like what Democrats want today. Democrats WANT oligarchy and dictatorship. Democrats think they are The Elite. Democrats are racist and bigots.

Democrats hate women. Democrats hate children.

Democrats are only interested in themselves. It is narcissism. It is Elitism. It is tyranny.

Correct. Any standard textbook on history or political science would agree. Gardner's revisionist history is pathetic. Typical of a lying Trump supporter.

There is no 'standard textbook on history', Hugo.
Politics is not science.
You can't blame your revisionism on T.A. Gardner or Trump, Hugo.
Inversion fallacy. Void authority fallacy. Redefinition fallacy.
