The theft in the early hours of yesterday was seen as an attempt by right-wing extremists to muddy the narrative of the Holocaust.

The Nazis were left-wing extremists.

After 60 years, you'd think all those big-brained certified journalists might get that correct.

Unless... gasp... they're deliberately switching the terms!

Nah...

well not in europe.
for europe right wing extremists is the correct term.
you can´t compare europe to the US in terms of what is viewed as extreme right or left wing. It´s a totally different political system.
So every american may be correct to state nazis as left wing extremist (from your point of view) but so is every european telling you that they have been right wing extremists.

let me explain this. in america any form of “socialism” is viewed as left wing. In europe it has nothing to do with beeing left or right because all parties practise some form of socialism... some more some less but this has nothing to do if they are left or right.

Look at post #1 comment.

I crossed out right-wing.

Some Nazis were indeed left-wing and Socialist. Goebbels was very left wing, and most of the SA were leftists, most started out as Communist street brawlers.

Which was one of the reasons Hitler had to do away with them to gain the trust of the German business class, who was more scared of Bolshevism, than anything. Hitler was much more pragmatic than most in the Nazi Party. But the original name of the Nazi Party was the “German Workers’ Party”
