Please try to reason a little more rather than simply repeating what you have been told. The spectrum of political organization does not run from Communism to Nazism, despite what you have been told. For example, where in this spectrum does anarchy fall? If the Communists were the farthest Left and Nazis were the farthest Right, where would the German monarchy fall?

If you study the history of the rise of Hitler you will find that most of his recruits came from the Communists. In Mein Kampf Hitler rants against the old order. This was only natural, since both the Communists and the Nazis hated the old order in Germany: the remnants of the monarchy. They both wanted total control of government and the economy. The fight between the Communists and the Nazis was more of a civil war than anything else.

In the end, the German people voted for Hitler because, believe it or not, he appeared more moderate. The political and economic elite accepted him because they believed he could be controlled. Of course they were wrong, but by then it was too late.

Under Hitler a great deal of the German economy was nationalized. What was not taken over, was controlled by the government to provide the resources for the German war machine.

The last time I saw troops goose stepping was at a May Day parade in Moscow.

A lot of what you said is true. But then how do you explain that most of those people during WW2 that collaborated with Hitler, I am talking people from the Allied countries, those that turned against their own people because of their strong anti-communist beliefs, where say saw in Hitler the lesser evil then in communism. And the fact that the Roman Catholic church mostly collaborated as well, also because of anti-communism. That does not really support the theory that Hitler was a communist or of such beliefs. There's a bit of confusion here I admit because of the National Socialist things. National(ist) being a right-wing term and socialist a left wing. So maybe there was some of both. All in the most extreme and negative way as we all agree, is that not so? :(

hitler was made by the big money like krupp.

the nazis were neither national nor socialist. did you know that when the war was lost, hitler gave the 'nero' order? that meant destroying all industry and blowing up the mines to leave nothing to the enemy. and he ordered the whole population to kill themselves because 'who does not win is not worthy'. he was not anything more than a madman playing chess, just like stalin.

communism does not work and the communism we had on this planet developed very fast to a dictatorship. if we really had the kind of people we need to get a working communism, we could take any other form of government and it would work brilliantly, too.
