I am fully aware of Hitler’s attitudes towards the communists, slavs, and jews. How his opinions changed over time.

I have grown to expect more from the folks here at FR. This epithet thrown about by the left in this country that anyone/everyone is a nazi/fascist. Where they have no understanding that nazism, fascism, and communism are simply just different shades of the same RED.

Many view the political spectrum, from far left to far right, as follows:

Communist, Socialist, Democrat, Center, Republican, Nationalist (aka Nazi), Fascist

While arguments to the contrary can be made, this is the way I have generally understood it. What is interesting, however, is that methods of governing, including "democracies", "republics", "dictatorships" et al can be dominated by any of the aforementioned political ideologies.

It is also generally accepted that Hitler adopted many "pro-labor" Socialistic policies simply to garner votes and support, and to AVOID a communist revolution! The same could be argued for some of Roosevelt's policies in the 30's.
