Both Marx and a lot of Republicans share a love of “Free Trade”....
So yes, Hitler wasn't a traditional rightist, but he didn't quite fit in with the left. In some ways he's an asterisk figure who shows how the simple left-right spectrum doesn't account for everything that happens in politics. What's left and what's right changes over time and some politicians have combined left-wing and right-wing attitudes to produce some strange and terrible hybrids.
For the same reason the Bloods hate the Crips, rivals fighting over the same "turf".
this is how it always winds up in Communism. Biggest mass murderers the planet has ever witnessed.
Today’s woke generation is built on envy and resentment but lacking personal responsibility. Heading to tyranny, not utopia.

yep
Hitler hated Marx and Marxists. I know who and what the Nazis were; their mystical, Islamic, socialist philosophy had more to do with Capitalism and English Fabianism, as well as Italian socialist movements, than Marxism which was anathema.
Trying to equate Nazis with Marxist Communists is a big fail; their only common ground was socialism, but both views arose from different sources.
Stalin was a Marxist - call him an “International Socialist” if you want, but that changes nothing - Stalin was not a Nationalist, but a “Russianist”, if you will.
Actually, despite being Georgian, Stalin was a Russophile, and wanted Russification of the Soviet Union, against the original wishes of Lenin and Trotsky.
“And here is the kicker, it’s all in the name of Utopia!”
I refer to them as Murderous Utopians, and their philosophy as Sociopathism. They seem incapable of regarding those other than themselves and their immediate circle as individuals, and show a pathological lack of empathy.

I actually said that:a “Russianist”, if you will.’
You must have missed that point.
