were nazis left wing or right?

Question

Hitler spent alot on social programs like highways and affordable cars "for the people"...even the word nazi means "national SOCIALIST" and socialists are leftys.

Hitler liked animals and the environment and was a non-smoker (rare for the 30s) and a vegetarian

he supported gun control

and finally, many nazis dabbled in occultism and promoted germany's pagan heritage.

on the other hand they hated jews, gays and blacks


so is nazism conservatuve or liberal?

Answer 1

The NSDAP grew out of smaller political groups with a nationalist, far right orientation that formed in the last years of World War I. In the early months of 1918, a party called the Freier Ausschuss für einen deutschen Arbeiterfrieden (Free Committee for a German Workers' Peace) was created in Bremen, Germany. Anton Drexler, an avid German nationalist, formed a branch of this league on March 7, 1918, in Munich. Drexler had been a member of the militarist Fatherland Party during World War I, and was bitterly opposed to the armistice of November 1918 and to the revolutionary upheavals that followed in its wake. In 1919, Drexler, together with Gottfried Feder, Dietrich Eckart and Karl Harrer, established the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German Workers' Party, abbreviated DAP). This party was the formal forerunner of the NSDAP, and became one of many völkisch movements that existed in Germany at the time.

The völkisch movements were a collection of far-right political groups formed in the wake of Germany’s defeat in World War I. The German far-right believed that the sole cause of defeat was the collapse of the home front, they blamed the socialists, the liberals, the intellectuals and the Jews for failing to support the war effort. This became known as the Dolchstosslegende ("stab in the back myth"), and was an important factor in the rise of the Nazi Party. The Dolchstosslegende was false; the armistice of November 1918 had been sought on the recommendation of conservative Generals Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who recognised that the German Army could not continue the struggle.

It was right wing, not Socialist at all, but called itself Socialist thinking the German people wouldn't notice-and indeed, they didn't. Hitler himself had no Socialist leanings, whatsoever.

Answer 2

The Nazi celebration is one reason that the political spectrum isn't any longer considered a instantly-line yet a circle or grid. the business regulations of the Nazis were nationwide Socialist, very left-wing, although the social regulations were Facist, really properly-wing. The Nazi's made both intense ends of the political spectrum meet lower back up again. maximum Neo-Nazis are in common terms hate mongers, they do no longer have economic or social regulations in retaining with see, except that "we hate everyone unlike us". that is dazzling to make certain that the guy above my answer (Shiraz) has the in common words straightforward documented answer and receives 4 thumbs-down. The left wing would not pick reality do they?

Answer 3

They were definitely conservative. Conservatives are labeled such because they have an attachment to conserving traditional values. The Nazi party was very much into conserving German values and even German bloodlines. The focus on roads, cars etc. were focused on providing for the Aryan race and to bolster the German economy not for the more liberal causes of reducing the divides between the rich and the poor or for creating a better living standard for all.

One other note, it is widely debated that Hitler was a vegetarian. He followed the writings of composer Richard Wagner, who supported vegetarianism but who, like Hitler, was antisemitic. Hitler, however, never completely removed meat from his diet, he simply reduced it or went short periods of having a meatless diet but never giving it up completely.

Answer 4

Actually, Nazism is considered to be on the far right end of the political spectrum. You're right to point out the fact that they spent a lot of money on social programs. However, they also emphasized nationalism and tradition (or their version of it). Also, I would like to point out the fact that, contrary to popular belief, Hitler was not a vegetarian. He ate very little meat, but one of his favorite dishes was veal dumplings. And while there were some Nazis who were pagans, there were also some who were Catholics and Lutherans.

Answer 5

National Socialism is an extremely right-wing political dogma that has nothing whatsoever to do with true socialism and is more politically aligned with fascism. In the 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazis used the world socialism to try and appeal to the growing underclass of unemployed and unemployable, and growingly impoverished middle classes who were being cripped by the German recession caused in part by the Treaty of Versailles, and to try to counter the rising influence of the Bolsheviks. However, when they reached power, they persecuted trade unionists, workers' leaders and made strong ties to industrial and corporate powers.

Although Nazism and Communism are of opposite extremes of the political spectrum (Nazism being far-right, Communism being far-left), there is a strong arguement to be made that Nazism, Soviet Communism and many other totalitarian ideologies share a common underpinning in collectivism (i.e. the importance of the collective or the state over the importance of the individual)

Answer 6

Right wing absolutely !

Don't get messed up with the word "socialist" it was chosen on purpose.

Hitler spent alot on highways for tanks. The normal people had no cars at all, only his rich supporters.

In Germany is one right wing party "The Republicans" we call them Neo Nazis.

Answer 7

sooo wayyyy off the political spectrum that it reaches into the insanity spectrum...

but to answer your question

liberals (farest left of the political spectrum) share many policies that socialists share. They are much more socialist then right wingers.

and socialism is the same as communism

and communism is the exact opposit of facism..
they are like total tooootal opposits, they hate each other. ei Russia + Germany...

So therefore you could say that facism (hitler, moussalini) is far right winged...
however, unlike how liberals and communists share the socialist ideologicies... far right wingers dont share the same ideologicies as moussalini and Hitler.
so therefore, its hard to put facism on the same side of the political spectrum as republicans...

Hitler made his own group, Facism.... it just doesnt deserve a spot on the politcal spectrum... not even anywhere around it.

its gone anyways, never to be seen again...

Answer 8

Fascism is the right and communism is left. This is why Hitler and Stalin didn't like each other.

Answer 9

It's right wing,Nazi's themselves then and Neo Nazi's nowadays claim to be right wing but it has nothing to do with conservatism as known in America and England

Answer 10

The world doesn't fit in to this 'dualist' mode of thinking that some idiotic news agency has fed to you.

Not everything is conservative and liberal and I am sorry that you can't look at things outside of this paradigm.
