So to follow your logic, Louis XIV was a socialist.

That's your answer? THAT??

In other words: you know nothing about the political and economic policies put in place by the Nazis. You cannot describe these policies as either "right" or "left" because you are ignorant about what those policies might have been.

Multiple people are posting to you with actual facts and quotations from the Nazi regime which show quite clearly that the Nazis supported a powerful central state for purposes of social engineering.

And you close your eyes to all that? Why? I'd say because you identify yourself as a Leftist, but do not want to be associated with a political party like the Nazis. Too bad.

Your blunder is you keep trying to impose American definitions of right and left on Europe. European conservatism never had anything to do with "laissez faire" or "free market" or "gun control" or anything that you define as conservative.

Your defintions of right and left have nothing to do with Europe's.

ALL EUROPEANS right and left, supported a powerful central state for purposes of social engineering. Free market libertarianism, what you define as conservatism, did not exist in the continental European political menu.
