There is actually an error in this article because it describes NAZI style violent crimes against other races as the far right but NAZIism was leftward from the beginning for several reasons such as National SOCIALISM which puts it in the left. The second reason is that many NAZI programs were affiliated with things the left would do today such as anti-smoking campaigns and telling people that public health is not a private option which sounds like something a person on the left today would say.
The biggest thing that puts it on the left is Black Nationalism that is practiced by the black panthers. That idealogy had its roots in NAZI ideas about race and even if you do not believe that Black Nationalism doesn't have anything to do with socialism then look at what the black panther party believes and you will find many ideas revolving around communism.
I would be careful before anyone attributes the far right with NAZIs because it ain't difficult for anyone to look up a bit of history and check out how much NAZIism had to do with the far left.
The fact that SOCIALISM appears in the name means squat. You don't now your history of the Reich movements, that's for damned sure.
I think it does matter a lot since hitler often declared himself as a proud national socialist movement for whatever reason.
