The National Socialist German Workers Party, (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), or NSDAP, commonly known as the Nazi Party, was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers Party (DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.

Just as IBM changed its name from International Business Machines because that name no longer reflected a company that makes computers and advanced technology, Hitler renamed his party because national socialists no longer represented the true nature of his party.

But forgetting the name for the moment, no political scientist would ever make the mistake of calling an ideology that espouses ethnic purity, nationalism, militarism and strong patriotism leftist. In fact, those are qualities found on the right end of the political spectrum. Add to that fascism which suggests a strong alliance between gov't and corporations and you have a strong reflection of the American GOP party albeit without the extreme overtones found with the Nazis. Its why so many people are worried about the state of the American democracy.
