Sounds pretty right wing to ME: schoolhistory.co.uk Hitler promised strong government. Hitler, like many other groups believed that the Weimar Republic was weak. Hitler promised to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles by taking back land and re-arming. Hitler’s propaganda made people believe that the Weimar politicians had stabbed Germany in the back in 1918. Hitler appealed to all classes: JUNKERS (aristocrats) – feared Communism and wanted re-armament. Hitler promised both. MIDDLE CLASS – wanted law and order and feared communism. WORKING CLASS – wanted jobs. Hitler promised to end unemployment. CHURCH – supported Hitler because Communists were atheist. Hitler began his rise to power in 1923 when he attempted the Munich Putsch. Although his attempt failed he used his trial to gain publicity. In prison he wrote Mein Kampf setting out his ideas. More importantly, he changed his ideas about how to gain power. He decided to take power legally, using the democratic system, which he then planned to destroy. Not very "socialist"

"CJ, I'm sure Hitler came to power because he promised tax cuts for the rich, free private enterprise, individualism, the right to bear arms, and the free market of ideas." Huh? Shooting for inscrutable again? Hitler rode to power because he didn't shy from turning his goons loose to kick heads. His talk about how Germany got stabbed in the back resonated with too many. Sort of like how those on the right like to bloviate about liberals betraying the country and allying with terrorists. Look at what Hitler did, not just some speeches made when The Nazis where meeting in pubs. If you go by them, he was a devout Christian, talking about God and Christ more often than socialism. So, if you want to accept his rhetoric, you also accept him as a fellow Christian.
