Actually Nazi’s are so far to the right that they are butt buddies with the Communists who are too far to the left.

But in the final analysis it was a joke and sarcasm.

Actually, the National Socialists were not remotely right-wing, certainly not in the sense that we see right-wingers as at the very least capitalist. The Nazis were neither pro-capitalism nor pro-communism, but to pretend they were simply on either side is a fabrication pushed onto the label by the left. In fact, the Nazi party’s platform statement that it demanded “struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest...” is remarkably utilitarian and anti-individualist, which is antithetical to right-wingers’ views.

“Actually Nazi’s are so far to the right that they are butt buddies with the Communists who are too far to the left.”

My point is that the “far right” description of Nazis is extremely misleading given the conventional designation of conservatives as right wing, because Nazis are exactly opposite conservatives on all the important issues: value of human life, absolute moral righteousness of Christianity, individual liberty, private property, free markets.
