Parrot, that statement by Hitler in his early days of taking over the National Socialist party to use it as his base during his rise to right-wing fascist dictator is just a con by him. Very much like Bush pretending he's a "compassionate" conservative, "environmentalist", "born-again christian" and "fiscally conservative" as the neocons took over the Republican party - it means NOTHING. "Yes, Hitler was part of the EXTREME RIGHT. Historical revisionists in recent years have claimed the Nazis were actually leftists, however the National Socialist Party was simply a party label and it was a party that existed before Hitler took it over and turned it into a fascist party. Hitler was opposed to Marxism and demonstrated by his writings. Communists were among those he persecuted. This certainly is NO defense of the extreme left who are just as bad, but why do some on the right feel the need to deny historical fact? The philosophy of the Nazis and fascism in general is an extreme form of nationalism which in fact is a right wing ideology. The Nazi philosophy was not based on any kind of economic philosophy it was based on racism, with the Germans being the "master race". That is indeed is right wing ideology. Let's not forget that many American capitalists at the time were pro-Hitler." en.wikipedia.org "The term most commonly refers to conservatism, but from the 20th century onwards, the term has also been applied, on the one hand, to fascism (especially with respect to repression of leftist politics, independent labor organizing, and minority ethnicities)"
