"BTW Naziism (National Socialism) is a LEFT view." fascism is a far right extreme right wing ideology. It is politically opposite to communism the left wing extreme

I don't believe that communism is the opposite of the Nazi philosophy. The only difference is in fascism a small group of rich profit from some controlled capitalism.

National Socialism being called right wing actually originated from Stalin's propaganda organization shortly after Hitler betrayed Stalin, invading the Soviet Union. Many of the Nazi's, and Mussolini's Fascists for that matter, got their start in the Communist movement. The more correct view of the political spectrum is left being more government control, right being less. On the far left are the Communist regimes, and other dictatorships with government run command economies, including fascism and national socialism. On the true far right is anarchy - complete lack of government. Neither extreme works. For a further explanation of this, read Friedrich A. von Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. F. A. von Hayek was from the Austrian school of Economics, which called for the minimum of government involvement in economics, which ran completely against the philosophy of either Hitler or Stalin. Hayek's colleague Ludwig von Mises did not get out of Austria in time, was imprisoned by the Nazi's, and later died in the Soviet GULAG.
