You missed my point. I wasn't accusing the American right of any misdeeds at all. I was pointing out that Nazis are right-wingers both internationally and within their own national mileu. So far you haven't proven 80 years of political science that proves my arguments to the contrary, you're just rehashing the old simplistic points used to flay the "Nazis were leftists" dead horse.

You missed my point. I quite acknowledge the European naming convention of the early twentieth century. See my post 48 where I linked to an old letter of Lenin's referring to a portion of European socialist parties as right wing.

While the Nazis are on the so-called 'right' side of European socialist parties, their views and policies place them on the left side of the American political spectrum. If nothing else, it speaks volumes about how lucky we are not to be cursed with European political beliefs.

If you can refute the points of my previous post (Hitler's socialist positions in the Twenty-Five Points, the party's relationship to Marx, Goebbels acknowledging that Nazis were socialists), please do so. If these things are a 'dead horse' like you claim, then you don't have to worry about the dead horse that just ran three rings around you.
