I read what you wrote. It doesn't match up well with what really happened. "1) The outlawed free trade unions, just as communists did, because the party (National Socialist German Workers Party) represented the workers." Now, this is counter-factual. The DAF was only created after the union leaders were arrested. The unions opposed the Nazis, which is why they were shut down. "2) They waged war on the Jews in the belief that Jews controlled international finance and was plotting against Germany." And were instrumental in stabbing Germany in the back during WWI. Now, how is this socialist? "3) Hitler created a state-owned car company to produce a People's Car or Volkswagen." Which never actually produced cars before the end of the war. It did, however, produce tanks and other military vehicles. This isn't particularly socialist. "4) While they allowed private ownership of industry, the party controlled it." It depends on how you define "control". Companies had to cooperate with the party. Duh. It was a dictatorship. Now, I suppose you want to take the stance that no dictatorship can be right wing by definition. That would be an interesting assertion...
