The Nazis - or Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - just like the commies were socialists with common roots from Karl Marx and competing against each others for the Socialist Supremacy of The World.
Obviously, as history now tells us, not space enough for both of them in that spot.

All well known facts, but like so many other well known and understood facts denied by the liberals, who live in their cozy dream world.

I've never heard Hitler and his Brown Shirts described as Leftists.

That is because you haven't been plugged into wingnut media. You see, the Nazis, aka the National Socialists, had 'socialists' in their name...

That is pretty much it. Ignore the fact that virtually nothing they did could be construed as leftist, much less socialist. Unless, of course, you use the wingnut definition of 'socialist' as meaning 'things I don't approve of'.

And, when reality intrudes too much, they make shit up. Like the Nazis promoted abortion. Which they did, for untermensch. It you were German, it was forbidden. Like the Nazis took away guns and promoted gun control. Which they did, if you were untermensch. If you were German, gun laws were very much relaxed. Or even ignored.

And so on.

they sound like lefties to me 9. All German Citizens must have equal rights and duties. 10. It must be the first duty of every Citizen to carry out intellectual or physical work. Individual activity must not be harmful to the public interest and must be pursued within the framework of the community and for the general good. We therefore demand: 11. The abolition of all income obtained without labor or effort. Breaking the Servitude of Interest 12. In view of the tremendous sacrifices in property and blood demanded of the Nation by every war, personal gain from the war must be termed a crime against the Nation. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits. 13. We demand the nationalization of all enterprises (already) converted into corporations (trusts). 14. We demand profit-sharing in large enterprises. 15. We demand the large-scale development of old-age pension schemes. 16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle class; the immediate communalization of the large department stores, which are to be leased at low rates to small tradesmen. We demand the most careful consideration for the owners of small businesses in orders placed by national, state, or community authorities. 17. We demand land reform in accordance with our national needs and a law for expropriation without compensation of land for public purposes. Abolition of ground rent and prevention of all speculation in land. 3 18. We demand ruthless battle against those who harm the common good by their activities. Persons committing base crimes against the People, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished by death without regard of religion or race. 19. We demand the replacement of Roman Law, which serves a materialistic World Order, by German Law. 20. In order to make higher education—and thereby entry into leading positions— available to every able and industrious German, the State must provide a thorough restructuring of our entire public educational system. The courses of study at all educational institutions are to be adjusted to meet the requirements of practical life. Understanding of the concept of the State must be achieved through the schools (teaching of civics) at the earliest age at which it can be grasped. We demand the education at the public expense of specially gifted children of poor parents, without regard to the latter’s position or occupation. 21. The State must raise the level of national health by means of mother-and-child care, the banning of juvenile labor, achievement of physical fitness through legislation for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and maximum support for all organizations providing physical training for young people.

The right wingnuts have been putting out for a while that Hitler was a leftist, because he and his thugs chose to take over the National Socialist Party as a vehicle to take power. Early on, he even made some socialist noises. Once in power, he sent all the socialists to the camps.

The right wing doesn't want to own Hitler, but they DO. Authoritarian Fascism is a right wing disease, and always will be.
