Unfortunately, the “left” has labeled the Nazis as “Right Wing” and then lump all of us conservatives in with them.

I saw a speech given by Daniel Hannan at a British university a while back. He was pointing out that everyone knew that the nazis were socialists until sometime in the 1960s the shift to labeling them right wingers began.

Yes...the 60’s are the years when the left started gaining control of the language. Now people say things that have a totally different meaning than they did in my childhood (50’s)

That shift came, I think, as the Marxists took over academia. The Marxists always tried to portray anyone to the right of them as some kind of fascists, because that is the only comparison they can make which might show Communism in a favorable light. So that is naturally how they redefined the political spectrum once they started teaching the political science classes.
