If Comparative Economic Systems was your best subject, I'm wondering what your worst one was. Fascism (and therefore Nazism) are far right. Fascism and communism have substantial diferences on the relationship between private property, capital and labor. They have substantial differences on human nature, and the view of human nature is the foundation of all ideology. Authoritarianism exists on the far left in the form of Soviet style communism and on the far right as fascism.

Wrong. Fascism and Nazism were meant to be an alternative to capitalism and communism. They were blends of the two systems with government being fully involved in much of the business world. Plus. the international brotherhood idea is dropped for ethnic and racial nationalism. But economically, fascism is to the left of capitalism and to the right of communism (much closer to the latter).

Where did the term Nazi come from? It was a shortening of the first part of the Party's official name. And what that full name? The NSDAP or Nationale Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (in English, the National Socialist German Workers Party).

The communists have done a wonderful propaganda job over the years to convince everyone that the Nazis were to the right of the capitalists and not their near neighbors on the political spectrum.

Fascism is little different from Socialism. Far right would be free markets. Fascists have state control of business, but not state ownership. Socialist governments (Communism does not exist in the Marxist sense) not only control but also own the "means of production". So where do you get that fascism is right wing? Fascism does not believe in free markets, it controls the means of production. I'm not sure if it set prices directly, I don't think it did. However it did control prices by telling companies what to produce and how much.

You have fallen for the big lie perpetrated by the left to distance their policies from that of the Nazis. They felt the need to associate the Nazis with the right because of the horrors we discovered near the end of WWII. They embraced Socialism, a more extreme version because since the USSR didn't loose we didn't get to see the horrors of that system. Eventually they lost economically; but the left wing press has been able to cover up what was learned about those horrors.
