The Nazis were leftists. Deal with it.
The Marxist theory of history required and demanded genocide for reasons implicit in its claim that feudalism was already giving place to capitalism, which must in its turn be superseded by socialism. Entire races would be left behind after a workers’ revolution, feudal remnants in a socialist age; and since they could not advance two steps at a time, they would have to be killed.” According to Engels they were “racial trash.” And Marx himself, sounding every bit the Hitler mentor in 1853 wrote, “The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.”
Socialism and Racism have always held hands

So, I'm wondering, IF they were BOTH leftists, how come they had a WAR where they KILLED millions and millions of each others citizens?? The same reason Protestants and Catholics killed each other. Power. Come now Con. You think Capitalists can't kill Capitalists, or that right wingers can't kill right wingers? Having something in common never stops the blood thirsty from being blood thirsty. Every one of these maniacs in the last 100 years quoted Marx. Looks like Marx got a lot of people killed. Probably about a half billion. Of course Marx was on the far left, but he wasn't a liberal. I see tyrany as a point on a circle. If you head too far left or right you wind up in the same point doing the same evil shit. ANTIFA, the Klan, Nazis, Commies, Jihadists, Westboro Baptists. They all are of the same ilk. They just take different routes to get to that point on the circle I mentioned. What I have found, is a far leftist pretends and disguises then stabs you in the back. A far rightist tells you exactly who he is, then stabs you in the face. Equally vile. Pick your poison. But then there is this sneaky creature who pretends to be somewhat centrist that can vote against their party suddenly from nowhere a little too much like Susan Collins, Joe Manchion, Jeff Flake. You know the type. They are on that second tier of snakes. Might even be fucking spies. I hate fucking spies. How about you con? Side: Deal with it
Your article is comprehensively debunked here:- No, Nazis were Not Leftists: Or, How to Debunk Right-Wing Propaganda It is generally considered good practice not to “feed the trolls”— that is, not to engage in commentary with strangers on the internet who thrive on aggressive verbal hate and cruelty. But when the president himself is little more than a troll and the entire right-wing media apparatus increasingly relies on weaponized trolling (as well as the overwhelming spread of misinformation) as a primary means of producing propaganda, it becomes necessary to occasionally step up and defend ideas and history from the perversion of alternate realities. That brings us to the inspiration for this piece: a recent article in the right-wing website The Federalist titled “Read a Pile of Top Nazis Talking about How they Love Leftist Marxism” by Paul Jossey. The subtitle is “From the moment they enter the political fray, young right-wingers are told, ‘You own the Nazis.’ Much of the historical record says exactly the opposite.” The article begins with this in-your-face provocation: “The Nazis were leftists.” I hope that most of our readers will instantly recognize the absurdity of the article from those few lines, but it warrants examining in closer detail to understand exactly what the author is trying to do and why. Everything else the author does in his article, however, is part of a cynical ploy to rewrite history by cherry-picking isolated facts and fitting them into a false context. The author claims that his thesis, that the Nazis were actually Leftists, is debatable, but compelling. It is actually neither. No actual historian or political scientist has gone on the record to claim that Nazis were Leftists. Accordingly, there is no citation given of any such person in the article because they don’t exist. This means that the author’s thesis is not actually debatable. It is settled history. I am not personally an academic specialist in the Nazi party, but I am an amateur historian with two history degrees who has read and thought much about World War Two over the course of my life. A very quick bit of research has led me to conclude with a high degree of certainty that there is basically universal consensus by scholars that the Nazis occupied territory on the far-right of the political spectrum. The few skeptics to the “far-right-wing Nazi consensus” seem to place more emphasis on the sui generis nature of the Nazi political beast by charaterizing it as neither right nor left, but a unique populist syncretic movement. Even such a rare opinion does not go so far as to characterize the Nazis as unequivocal members of “the Left”. That is because it is by definition an absurd and offensive statement. That is like saying that Nazis were secretly communists because of a short-lived and cynical peace treaty with Josef Stalin (Actually, the author does make that ridiculous point in the article). There is no new history to be written on the main, big picture history of World War Two and the Nazi party. There is no hitherto secret knowledge or conspiracy that the author has just revealed despite decades of settled history determining what everyone knew at the time and until now: the Nazis were a far-right party—as far right as a party could conceivably be on the political spectrum. Everything else in the article is merely lies and propaganda (which are usually the same thing) to further his own right-wing views. Side: Deal with it
