Isn't it sad you have to explain this to these poor deluded fools?Nope...NAZIS are Right Wing fascist totalitarians. Communists are Left Wing totalitarians.I am curious to know how many times you have to hit yourself in the head with a hammer in order to be profoundly stupid enough to say "Nazis are lefties".

nazis are left wing......they are socialists, they believe in government control of the economy, that is socialism, ding bat.....socialism is a left wing economic model.
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
My purpose today is to make just two main points: (1) To show why Nazi Germany was a socialist state, not a capitalist one. And (2) to show why socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.
The identification of Nazi Germany as a socialist state was one of the many great contributions of Ludwig von Mises.
When one remembers that the word "Nazi" was an abbreviation for "der Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiters Partei — in English translation: the National Socialist German Workers' Party — Mises's identification might not appear all that noteworthy. For what should one expect the economic system of a country ruled by a party with "socialist" in its name to be but socialism?
------
De facto government ownership of the means of production, as Mises termed it, was logically implied by such fundamental collectivist principles embraced by the Nazis as that the common good comes before the private good and the individual exists as a means to the ends of the State. If the individual is a means to the ends of the State, so too, of course, is his property. Just as he is owned by the State, his property is also owned by the State.
Our educational system is really in the toilet.
