But Nazism and Communism are both leftist just that Nazism is slightly to the right of Communism.

Nazism controls the means of production whereas Communism owns the means of production.

Even if Nazism is a leftist ideology, the fact that the extreme right embraces the swastika makes it appear that Nazism is right wing. And appearances rule.

Exactly. The NAZIs (National Socialists) were considered middle of the road leftists in their time.

It was only after International Socialist triumphed that they labeled NAZIs “far right”.

In fact, both are different versions of leftism.

The great myth is that Nazism is right, but, as you say, the starting point is everything. When you place both of them on a left right political spectrum, both are left side ideologies. The key is that both eschew individual thought and freedom.

Nazism advocates national socialism, whereas communism advocates international socialism. They are both totalitarian abominations.

Thats it in a nutshell.

Under the German Nazis, Krupp continued on as long as he supported the regime.

Under communism, they would have taken Krupp, killed off its officers and took full control of the production. It is true Marxism.

Hitler hated the commies because they wanted to control him and he wanted to control them.

I have read that one of the reasons Hitler hated the Jews so much is that he blamed them for Marxism.. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. Dont know if that is true or not, but, Marx was Jewish.

IMO, it was the mob on steroids. After all, the mob systems are/were set up similar.
