I will give you the correct answer. I’ve dealt with this question enough to be able to provide an easy to understand cognizant answer as to why Nazi’s are considered far-right in Europe.

You have objective, right and left, and subjective, right and left. Objective right and left explains an individual’s relationship to the government. Subjective explains right and left in relation to the individual.

The more objectively right one goes, the more individualistic one is and the greater the desire to have a weak government. The more objectively left one goes, the greater one wants his government and the less he wants for the individual. This is where the political line graph goes from anarchy to libertarianism to conservatism to Republicanism to Democratism to liberalism to socialism to fascism to communism.

Subjectively, one can be right or left when compared to a system or between individuals. Although, I would classify myself as a libertarian with conservative economic values, there would be people to the right of me or to the left of me.

The reason why liberals argue that fascism is far right is because they define it subjectively, in relation to where liberals place themselves. Liberals are in the middle between communism and fascism, with a slightly more lenient fascist beliefs than Nazism-fascism. In the liberal mind, there is no such thing as individiualism.
