Take it from the horse himself:
“According to the idea of the NSDAP [Nazi party], we are the German left. Nothing is more hateful to us than the right-wing national ownership block.”
-Josef Goebbels
How can fascism which is group think be right wing which is for individual rights??
Cherry picking a Goebbels quote isn’t going to win you a prize.
Gregor and Otto Strasser were two very early members of the Nazi Party. They thought that Nazism should genuinely be socialist and anti-capitalist. In the Party this became known as Strasserism and comprised the left wing of the Party.
The much younger Goebbels bounced between siding with them and siding with Hitler. Hitler didn’t have any use for the Strassers and he rejected their ideas totally.
Fortunately for Goebbels, he abandoned Strasserism and hitched his horse to Hitler. He lived longer that way.
Hitler defeated the Strassers for control of the Nazi Party by 1926. Otto quit and formed the Black Front opposition. Gregor stayed and was murdered in the 1934 Night of the Long Knives, when Hitler eliminated all potential rivals.
Any history of Hitler’s rise to power includes his policy of courting and seeking the support of the German industrialists. And they gave him their support. No German socialist party of that era, and there were several, regarded the Nazis as belonging to their side of politics.
William Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich has most of this history in its opening chapters. It’s not a secret, not hard to find.
Because the definition has changed past 20 years
Anything state control is now considered left wing by many on the right
It’s self serving to me but whatever
Hitler was more pragmatic, because he needed those industrialists to build the war machine.
But once they were no longer needed, they would have gone the way for the Jews, and the government who seize the means of production, just as the Strassers wanted.
You and Miltie sane talking points
Anyone studied this stuff fifty years ago like old geezer here pretty much were instructed authoritarian one end
Totalitarian the other

Neocons decided hey let’s put everything bad one end and our stuff

Whatever
That’s nice dynamic you guys use
I don’t care as much as yall do
I will tell you this
It won’t help you with our enemy
They call anything they disagree with “Fascist”. It doesn’t matter what you tell them.
That’s for certain
Or Hitler
Let’s don’t leave him out
Your certainty of what Hitler “would have done” had he lived longer has the same value as every other prediction of the unknowable future.
That’s the way that treating guesses as fact works.
All that we actually know is what he actually did.
He laid it all out in Mein Kampf.
Let’s see the quotes from Mein Kampf that you think support that claim.
