>Hitler was totally a right winger. There was nothing liberal about him.<

This is really a definitional issue. It was the National "SOCIALIST" party.

Most people that consider themselves right wingers in America would object to including a socialist or someone that wanted to direct most corporate/economic activity from the central government as a right winger (even if he allowed people to continue owning the means of production) - even if he was right wing on almost everything else.

You can call him anything you want, but he wanted to expand the power of government in many ways and that's not an entirely right wing desire. It depends on what types of expansion you are talking about.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)
