This was a good piece but it doesn’t explain why some liberal American Jews equate conservatism with Nazism. I have first-hand experience with this. My theory is that they place both Nazis and conservatives on the right because, although the Nazis were socialists, both were/are implacable foes of the Communists. And as the article pointed out, the leaders of the Communist revolution were Jewish.

By the standards of the 1930s, the Nazis were indeed regarded as a right-wing party. In Europe of the 1930s, the leftists favored pacifism, internationalism (the League of Nations), socialism and religious toleration, while the right wing parties favored militarism, nationalism, anti-communism and anti-semitism. This was true not just in Germany, but throughout Europe. Europeans at the time clearly saw the Nazis as a far-right party.

Propaganda. Elite finance in America (Rockefeller establishment since the late 19th century), through controlling boards and university endowments and boards, puts out messages of their choosing into society from all directions. School, movies, news, corporate policy, governments, associations, etc., as well as informally from the top down.

Jews, like everyone else, take their cues from those whom they see as leaders in society.

The linking of Nazism and conservatism was one of the political rewards that elite international finance reaped from WWII; it has been and continues to be preached exhaustively in the mainstream everywhere.

And as the article pointed out, the leaders of the Communist revolution were Jewish.

That's not the whole story. Jacob Schiff is known to have donated at least $20 million to the Bolshevik revolution. However, other prominent Wall Street interests, both on the Rockefeller and Morgan side, proceeded to take the Bolshevik cause as their own, investing heavily in it.

Antony Sutton's works are very well-researched and quite enlightening primer on the subject.

It was the right wing movement in Germany at the time, the left being occupied by the Communists, and to the right of the Social Democrats and the Workers Party.

As to the semite thing, antisemitism, no -, was a term coined by Wilhelm Marr in the 1880s or so for the name of his political party. Means Jew hatred, nothing to do with semites. Guess he didn't want to name his party, which advocated the expulsion of Jews from Europe, the Jew haters. Caught on a bit in Germany and France, but didn't last. And has no connections to National Socialism. Semite is a linguistic term embracing more the Hebrew and Arabic. It had a single meaning.
