look hitler’s political leanings are irrelivant, both liverals and conservatives alike can agree he was a horribly evil person. To make the argument about his political party is to simply turn the issue from a human rights one which it should be into a petty political argument. for instance: just because your great uncle went to jail for armed robbery, it does not mean that you condone his actions at all. Likewise, just because hitler was a liberal or a conservative, it does not meant that everyone in that group supports him.

look, while Hitler may have called himself a socialist, zell miller calls himself a democrat (if you have not heard of him he is an ultra conservative politician). Hitler did indeed take away many civil liberties in germany and increase the power of german buisinesses, but on the other hand he did increase the power of the german government. I think that hitler had ideas from both sides of the spectrum. I think however that his political leanings are really irrelivant because liberals and conservatives alike can agree that he was just an all around evil person.

Yeah, I'm not into the whole liberals are wrong/conservatives are evil pigeonholes. I prefer advocating the Pournelle chart

The word Nazi has its origin in German language. Nazi is used as a noun as well as a verb. Nazi is an abbreviated form for National Sozialistische Deutsch Arbeiter-Partei. It means National Socialist German Worker’s Party.

Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist movement was, as the name clearly says, a party of the left. While not explicitly Marxist-Leninist, National Socialism accepted the essentials of that worldview while adding Germanic racial supremacism to the mix. This is not the place to lay this out in detail, but it is part of the historical record. Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism includes the best recent treatment of the subject. Thus it was not astonishing that in 1939 Hitler and Stalin found ample common interests to establish an alliance, nor did it astonish that Communist Party members in the West almost unanimously took up support for Nazi Germany. The alliance simply recognized the ideological kinship between the two.

Sorry Charlie and JMyint. Hitler was a leftist.

Um, Hilter was a ultra right wing. He believed that businesses should prosper and that workers should not have any rights. In fact the Nazis employed millions of slave labourers.

Um, no. Hitler was not a liberal. Liberals believe in civil rights and social justice.

I noticed that you glossed over the animal rights activists shooting one researcher
BTW, Hitler and the NAZI party were considered Liberals, many liberals in the USA and other countries supported them. Of course they deny his liberal status now.
