Hitler in Mein Kampf directly attacked both left-wing and right-wing politics in Germany.[72] However, a majority of scholars identify Nazism in practice as being a far-right form of politics.[73]

how so? i hate all of the republicans in power positions.

But you identify more with Right-Wing, which is why you can't see that just because Nazis were right-wing doesn't mean anything at all.

quote:
are you arguing that nationalism is a bad thing?

I'm saying:

Who is more Nationalistic, do you think GOP supporters or Democratic supporters?

Who is more likely to be xenophobic, the right or the left?

Who is more likely to allow more citizens access firearms, the right or the left?

If you asked soldiers today which party supports the military more, do you think it'd be the right or the left?

If you had to ask who were more concerned with the moral fibre of America, would it be left or right?

Absolutely none of those fall into the Modern Democratic Party.

The only thing I notice is that there is a very subtle racism and sexism creeping up from the left (and really it's not very subtle).

Germany didn't want equality -- they wanted superiority, equality for ONE group, not everyone, which is why they were neither Socialist or Communist.

Traditionally, the more you value community over solitary citizens, the more left you are.

Having a single class dominate everyone else was NOT the intention of Socialism or any leftist movement.

quote:
you're ignoring anything that has to do with the fact that facists want communal living and state dependence. doesn't line up with my partisan line-dragging

You're ignoring traditional roles of left and right wing.

Libertarians actually belong on the LEFT wing.

''Fascism is considered by certain scholars to be right-wing because of its social conservatism and authoritarian means of opposing egalitarianism.[40][41] Roderick Stackelberg places fascism—including Nazism, which he says is "a radical variant of fascism"—on the right, explaining that "the more a person deems absolute equality among all people to be a desirable condition, the further left he or she will be on the ideological spectrum. The more a person considers inequality to be unavoidable or even desirable, the further to the right he or she will be."[42]''

There is general agreement that the Left includes: anarchists, anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists, autonomists, communists, democratic-socialists, feminists, greens, left-libertarians, progressives, secularists, socialists, social-democrats and social-liberals.[5][6][7]

There is also general consensus that the Right includes: capitalists, conservatives, fascists, monarchists, nationalists, neoconservatives, neoliberals, reactionaries, right-libertarians, social-authoritarians, theocrats and traditionalists.[8]
