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

I used AI, it would have taken me an hour to put it as well as Claud did. . .

Where did Hitler fit in

Firmly on the far right, in the standard political-science and historical classification — though it's worth explaining why, since the "National Socialist" name trips people up.

The core markers historians and political scientists use to place a movement on the spectrum are things like: does it treat human worth as fixed by group identity (race, nation, "blood") or does it treat people as fundamentally equal; is it revolutionary against the existing order or does it seek to restore/purify a mythologized past; does it ally with traditional elites (industrialists, military, church) against organized labor, or the reverse. Nazism scores unambiguously on the far-right side of every one of those axes: it was built on racial hierarchy and biological determinism, it was explicitly counter-revolutionary against Bolshevism and Marxism (Hitler's entire early political identity was formed as an anti-communist street-fighting movement), it crushed independent trade unions and folded them into a state-controlled labor front, and it entered power in 1933 through an alliance with conservative elites — industrialists, the army, the old aristocracy — who saw it as a bulwark against the socialist and communist left, not as a fellow-traveler of the left.
Hitler's allies in 1930s Germany were right-wing conservatives, business leaders and industrialists, nationalists.

The Nazis suppressed, arrested, and killed German socialists and communists.

The fascist Franco allied with political conservatives, monarchists, and the traditionalist Spanish Catholic church. He fought against and killed Spanish socialists and leftists.
 
So outlawing Labor Unions is a leftist’s ideology?

It can be if those unions are seen as a threat to the dictatorship's control of labor and the economy.
Banning and executing leftist political groups and individuals is a leftist’s ideology?

Commonly done. Can't have competition politically when you're a dictator.
Working with and rewarding leading capitalists is a leftist’s ideology?

Can be when you can't simply take their shit without destroying the economy in the process. Look at what happened most recently in Venezuela when Maduro nationalized oil production. Quantity plummeted. Energy companies refused to work with him. All the professionals fled the country. Political hacks were put in charge and the means of production crumbled into ruin.

Same thing happened in Mexico when the Left took control of that nation in the early 20th Century.
Aligning with noted existing right wing political entries is a leftist’s ideology?

Define "right wing political entities."
Promotion of extreme nationalism is a leftist’s ideology?

It can be. It certainly is in N. Korea and China today. Even Cuba does that. The Soviet Union did it too.
Banning artistic expression is a leftist’s ideology?

Yes.



About the only thing Hitler did leaning left was build the Autobahnen,

How about:

Champion public transit and railroads.
Order a "people's car" manufactured. E. Germany had the Trabant. Same thing, different dictatorship.
Put animal rights in place
Banned smoking
Forced participation in government controlled youth groups (Hitler Youth) to indoctrinate children.
Putting a "Germanic" system of nutrition in place and to a degree forcing the agriculture sector to produce what the government told them to.
Labor was controlled by the government. To get a job you had to have the government's permission.
When Germany invaded Russia, collective farms were retained by the Nazis and continued as state operations.
Institute state run holiday centers like Prora.

As for the Autobahn, that started in the Weimar Republic well before Hitler took power. All Hitler did was expand the system.
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
No, that's a common misconception. The autobahn started because the pre-Nazi government felt that Germany needed adequate roads and should become a more motorized society. They saw what was happening in the US and Britain for example.
 
Lenin not so much but other revolutionaries did adopt ruthless authoritarian tactics, worst of all Stalin who Lenin had wanted kicked out of the party but then Lenin got sick and died and that was that. Communism is branded Leftist for its economic ideological framework which in practice became mostly a myth. Marx himself had been an idealist who believed in political freedom. Whatever the Russians who assumed power under his name believed they put in practice its reverse. The economic theory was Leftist because it featured spreading national wealth. As a working political ideology it became an abomination as recognized by Stalin's immediate successors.
Karl Marx did not want political freedom. Go read the writings of Karl Marx, Marty.
 
American AI lies, it places ideology over truth. I am reminded of Bret Weinstein saying the other day "As much as I tend to agree with Conservatives over the modern day progressives (the WOKE) I am not a conservative, because I dont think we can conserve our way out of this mess.....we need new approaches".
 
Correct, as an adult, he rejected religion.
And your vatican helped nazis escape after the war

Historical research and declassified documents show that individual Catholic clergy members—operating through "ratlines"—helped thousands of Nazi war criminals escape to South America and Europe after World War II,
