“Hitler was anti-communist.”

But first he was a Stalin teammate.

That did not make him right wing.

Communists even go to war with communists. Does that make one of them right wing? Examples would be the USSR and communist China almost went at it during the Nixon administration. Communist China tried to invade Communist Vietnam and got their assess kicked.

“Hitler was anti-communist.“

Because he had to be. The communists were an established party in Germany while Hitler’s NAZIs were scrambling for purchase. They were competing with him for the political oxygen. In strategy, tactics and outcome Hitler was as left as you can get.

Hitler was anti-communist.

But he did borrow from socialism, hated the bourgeoisie, and had no compunction against nationalizing industry if they failed to carry out the party's direction. https://ihr.org/other/devlinzitelmann

"Hitler was anti-communist.

The question is, was he anti-statist? I'm pretty sure we all know the answer to that.

"Communist" is just a Boogey Man label used to scare children after World War 2. The true political spectrum has "statist" at one extreme and "anarchist" at the other (and happy people somewhere in the middle).
