Can anyone name the last right-wing mass murderer?

As always, depends on your definitions.

If you use the most common definition in America, right-wing as referring to those defending the traditional American conservatives values as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, then the answer is none. With the probable exception of the arguable genocide committed against the Indians in the 19th century.

If you use the European definition of right-wing, then there are a bunch of contenders.

Here's an excellent resource for body counts over the centuries.

I would argue that Hitler was indeed a right-wing mass murderer, as were his imitators in Croatia, Romania and elsewhere.

Nazism was a peculiar combination of generally leftist economics (never fully implemented, thought they might have been after the war, had they won) and Euro-type right-wing blood and soil social policies.

The reason I'd say his killings nevertheless qualify as right-wing is that they were almost all committed for reasons related to the Nazis' right-wing policies, not their left-wing ones.

I hasten to add there is very nearly zero correspondence between European style right-wingery, based on church and crown, blood and soil; and the American version.

In fact, I think the term right-wing doesn't properly apply to American conservatism, which upholds what is still the most radical revolution in human history. But it's a hopeless battle to try to correct the terminology at this point.

Fwiw.

National Socialist German Workers Party

Abbreviation. NAZI

Curious how the left easily float the smear of "Nazi" and "Fascist". This on anyone who offers a dissenting view. Especially one that flies in their face . This is their special weapon.

As for Adolf Hitler, he nearly got killed in WW1 as a dispatch runner. The German police fired on him and his comrades in the 1920's, as they marched on the government. 23 were killed. Hitler survived and was sentenced to five years in prison. He was let out after one year and the rest is history.

During WW2, we were cheerfully told that all the German people supported Hitler. The rotten communists in England demanded atrocities to be visited on Germany at the end of the war.

Fortunately wiser heads prevailed.
