My post wasn't about Nazis. It was about the examples of when science was exploited for political gain and I used a couple of the most egregious examples, one which most people are familiar and one which a lot of people may not have been aware that also resulted in many dead. What determines left/right is what advocates believe is the proper role of government -always. Don't waste your time arguing this. I majored in political science with a minor in public administration. I know how to easily determine political left and right. Nazi state was a totalitarian state. Totalitarianism is the end result of leftwing extremism. Anarchy, no government at all, is the end result of rightwing extremism. Nazi state was no different from the Soviet State with regard to government control of the individual. They disagreed on which should be ruling, not whether government should have that kind of power.
