I would point out that the author of this article is wrong when he speaks of Hitler as right-wing. He was not. Nationalism alone does not mean that he was right wing. Nazism was a leftist socialist movement, although his particular brand of socialism highlighted anti-semitism/racism and nationalism; anti-semitism, because that was in the roots of socialism/Marxism, and nationalism, because he thought that his brand of nationalism would bind the Germanic people together against the patriotism of the bourgois capitalists, whom he hated, and replace their Christianity, which he also despised.

Thanks for your reply. I read the "Hitler was right wing" part of the article and I knew Nazism came from the LEFT but couldn't formulate exactly why.

You did so most excellently!
