Why was Hitler's Workers' Party called Right?

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Very much an authoritarian right wing action. The Trade Unions were lefty.

The Russians could hit Dallas or Chicago in 1959

We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions

Which businesses did Hitler shut down? Other than Jewish run businesses, that is.

Civilian Firearms businesses

Civilian Firearms businesses

LOL Really? Hitler shut down Carl Walther GmbH (makers of the Walther P38) or Luger?

How about Heckler & Koch? Or, Mauser-Werke? I could go on and on.

None of these companies were shut down. In fact, they flourished with the Nazis supplying them with slave labor.

But hey, feel free to prove me wrong. Go.

A "far better alternative" for the U.S., not for Iranians. That's why you should not be so critical of Obama, Hilary, and Biden, as their opponents were involved in the same: sending "pallet loads of cash" to the Shah and others in exchange for what the U.S. rich want.

lol the Shah didn't need pallet loads of cash; Iran already had a booming oil industry and rail system. If you think being a Soviet puppet state was 'better' than you really haven't read any real history.

No, the Nazis did not shut down businesses, firearms or others, unless they were Jewish.

That has nothing to do with my point.

His cronies and foreign business partners did, which is why even with a "booming oil industry and rail system," they still needed the SAVAK to maintain "freedom" and "democracy", as there was no other way to keep the U.S. puppet state set up.

But that's all part of "real history," not your la-la land.

It's not complicated.

Nazi Germany embraced a crony capitalist economic system

It pushed regressive social policies, seeking to return to a previous status quo.

Those are the defining characteristics of right wing authoritarianism, so the Nazis were right-wing. Only the most depraved cult liars try to deny that. You see some of them here.

If you see someone denying the Nazis were right-wing, you know you're looking at a hardcore fascist. They're trying to whitewash right-wing atrocities, hoping that will cloak their current support of right-wing atrocities.

FWIW, many economies are also crony capitalist today, including the U.S., where Washington works for Wall Street. The reason for that is only around 10 pct of the U.S. population owns 70 pct of the total wealth of the country.

He embraced their Methods and purged the Marxists & their Trotskyite traits and did it ( Socialism ) his way

That's a very poor attempt to revise history.

Any actual socialists among the Nazis were murdered during the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.
