Hitler, Farbus and Bull Connor were leftist.

Hitler

7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.

Farbus

Faubus's father, Sam Faubus, provided him with an early political education. During the early part of the century socialist causes were popular in the rural mountains of Arkansas. Sam Faubus was a poor hill farmer who became active locally in socialist causes and publicly advocated for women's suffrage, abolition of the poll tax, formed a Socialist Party of America local amongst his neighbors, and wrote lengthy essays in favor of socialism for the local Madison County newspaper. . . .
. . . During the run-off, Cherry and his surrogates accused Faubus of attending a "communist" school and implied that his sympathies remained leftist. Faubus at first denied attending, then admitted enrolling "for only a few weeks." Later, however, it was disclosed that he had remained at the school for more than a year, during which he was elected president of the student body. Faubus actually led a group of students who testified on behalf of the college's accredidation before the state legislature.

Bull Connor

Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor (11 July 1897, Selma, Alabama – 10 March 1973) was a police official in the Southern U.S. state of Alabama during the American Civil Rights Movement and a staunch advocate of racial segregation. Connor entered into politics, running for the Alabama legislature as a Democrat in the 1920s, attended the 1948 Democratic National Convention [1], and served as a member of the Democratic National Committee. In 1936 Connor was elected to the office of Police Commissioner, a post which he did not relinquish until 1952.

Fascinating that some here still swallow the Kremlin propaganda, hook, line and sinker.

there was no difference between the nazis and communists - both brutally controlled all aspects of industry, commerce, culture, art, etc. (well, I guess the communists killed alot more in a shorter time - 10 million in 1932-33)

Can these detractors say Molotov - Ribentrop?

After they turned on each other, the Kremlin declared the nazis "right wing" to put those that took umbrage with leftist genocide in the same camp as Hitler.
