...Ultimately, Hitler's views are not monolithically conservative...

You are getting there, Ted. Slowly but still getting there. Not bad for a starter...
The Nazi ideology had a strong socialistic component in theory as well as in the way it was executed.

Individualism over collectivism.

Hitler wasn't a big believer in individualism. Individuals where supposed to devote themselves not to their own interests and opinions, but to the state, the party and Hitler himself.

Racism or racial segregation over racial tolerance.

Not a major element of American conservatism, and not something the American left has no connection to.

Eugenics over freedom of reproduction.

Eugenics is not supported by any significant number of conservatives.

One-person rule or self-rule over democracy.

One person rule an idea not supported by American conservatives, either now, or to any significant degree in the past. One person rule is a form supported by dictatorships of all different ideologies.

Self rule is a very different concept. Its meaning is similar to either freedom, or self dicipline. Either meaning is a good thing.

Capitalism over Marxism.

Supported by anyone who isn't either a fool or ignorant of economics.

Realism over idealism.

You have both realists and idealists on both the right and the left.

Exclusiveness over inclusiveness

Exclusivness gets as much support from the left as the right even if it is exlusivness in differet areas or to different people.

Meat-eating over vegetarianism.

Hitler was a vegitarian.

Gun ownership over gun control

Hitler instituted sweeping gun control laws.

Religion over secularism.

Hitler was far from a theocrat. He was all about everyone following him, the Nazi party, and Germany, not spending their time and energy supporting religion.
