read the political platform in 1932 that the Nationalists Socialist Party offered.

I found the 1920 Platform...

"The Program of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party is a program for our time.

1. We demand the uniting of all Germans within one Greater Germany, on the basis of the right to self-determination of nations.
(Okay, some standard stuff in here...)

2. We demand equal rights for the German people (Volk) with respect to other nations, and the annulment of the peace treaty of Versailles and St. Germain.
(Stupid French...)

We oppose the corrupting parliamentary custom of making party considerations, and not character and ability, the criterion for appointments to official positions.
(Can I put this in capital letters??? LEFT!!!!!)

7. We demand that the State make it its duty to provide opportunities of employment first of all for its own Citizens.
(State required to provide employment? Yeah, LEFT.)

8. Any further immigration of non-Germans is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who entered Germany after August 2, 1914, be forced to leave the Reich without delay.
(Okay, here's an opening for them to exploit)

9. All German Citizens must have equal rights and duties.
(duh)

Breaking the Servitude of Interest.

13. We demand the nationalization of all enterprises (already) converted into corporations (trusts).
(Nationalization of private companies... LEFT)

14. We demand profit-sharing in large enterprises.
(LEFT!!!)

15. We demand the large-scale development of old-age pension schemes.
(demanding government dependency... Left)

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle class; the immediate communalization of the large department stores, which are to be leased at low rates to small tradesmen. We demand the most careful consideration for the owners of small businesses in orders placed by national, state, or community authorities.
(anti-big-business... Left)

17. We demand land reform in accordance with our national needs and a law for expropriation without compensation of land for public purposes. Abolition of ground rent and prevention of all speculation in land.
(rent control, anti-capitalism, taking private land for public use... Left)

19. We demand the replacement of Roman Law, which serves a materialistic World Order, by German Law.
(anti-Capitalism, definitely Left)

20. In order to make higher education – and thereby entry into leading positions – available to every able and industrious German, the State must provide a thorough restructuring of our entire public educational system. The courses of study at all educational institutions are to be adjusted to meet the requirements of practical life. Understanding of the concept of the State must be achieved through the schools (teaching of civics) at the earliest age at which it can be grasped. We demand the education at the public expense of specially gifted children of poor parents, without regard to the latters’ position or occupation.
(Indoctrination in the schools, thoroughly Left)

21. The State must raise the level of national health by means of mother-and-child care, the banning of juvenile labor, achievements of physical fitness through legislation for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and maximum support for all organizations providing physical training for young people.
(From a Michelle Obama speech?)

a) all editors and editorial employees of newspapers appearing in the German language must be German by race;
(Racial quotas and requirements in employment, The Left controls of the Press's Narrative)

Newspapers which violate the public interest are to be banned. We demand laws against trends in art and literature which have a destructive effect on our national life, and the suppression of performances that offend against the above requirements.
(The Left calls for Right Wing media to be abolished)

The Party... fights against the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us,
(anti-Semitism is a Left-wing feature)

25. To carry out all the above we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the Reich. Unquestioned authority by the political central Parliament over the entire Reich and over its organizations in general. The establishment of trade and professional organizations to enforce the Reich basic laws in the individual states.
(Powerful central government... Left not Right)

The Party leadership promises to take an uncompromising stand, at the cost of their own lives if need be, on the enforcement of the above points.

Munich, Germany

February 24, 1920."

To be fair regarding that last bit, Monarchies are a powerful central government, yet they're closer to being right wing (not to mention Alexander Hamilton advocated for a strong central government, yet he was closer to right wing, certainly he was one of those founding fathers who didn't support the French Revolution at all). And besides, just having or desiring less government doesn't necessarily make you right wing. Anarchists, for example, want absolutely NO government at all, yet a whole lot of them extending as far back as Pierre Proudhon were closer to being of the far left than to the far right. Besides, I don't think the French Revolution under Robespierre would have been a good example of a powerful central government (more like no government whatsoever).

But yes, the 1920 platform, and the 1925 platform for that matter, makes very clear the Nazis were of the far left, not far right or even right of center. That was a lie pushed by Stalin and the Frankfurt School.
