Reich wing

By retarded modern definitions, right wing.
By classical definitions, liberal.
By commie definitions, reactionary.

The most reasonable placement would be absurdly authoritarian centrist with strong racial ideals.

They nationalized a fuckton of industries and restricted many freedoms. With that being said Hitler himself spoke poorly of Soviet Socialism and American capitalism. Economically they were definitely left of center, culturally they were very conservative, and socially very authoritarian

Right-wing, because they were nationalist. Same reason Stalin was a right-wing.

Ayy lmao

NEITHER, BUT FOR EXPEDIENCY, CONTEMPORARY NATIONAL SOCIALISTS TEND TO REFER TO NATIONAL SOCIALISM, AND THEREFORE TO THE THIRD REICH, AS BEING/HAVING BEEN "LEFT WING".

kill yourself you retarded nigger

>nationalism is right wing meme

Nationalism is right-wing now but at one time it wasn't.

Some of the basics of classical liberal thought shatter if you consider that nationalism is wrong

Neither.

Third Position is a thing.

>... restricted many freedoms.

1. YOU MEAN "LIBERTIES", NOT "FREEDOMS".

2. ANY RESTRICTIONS WERE NECESSARY TO PRECLUDE EXPLOITATION, AND USURY, POLLUTION, AND MANY OTHER DETRIMENTS, AND TO MAINTAIN ECONOMIC STABILITY.

>... [GERMAN NATIONAL SOCIALISTS] culturally they [SIC] were very conservative...

NO; ON THE CONTRARY, THEY WERE RADICALLY FOLKISH, ENTAILING ANTITRADITIONALISM, AND ANTICONFORMISM.

Who has ever referred to it as liberal?
Lol

When has a National Socialist ever referred to such ideology as left wing?

Classical liberalism is generally considered more to the right in modern times, though it was originally revolutionary.

The revolutionaries of today are the reactionaries of tomorrow.

>When has a National Socialist ever referred to such ideology as left wing?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "WHEN"?

I hate it when you're stupid on purpose

I AM BEING SINCERE; I DO NOT COMPREHEND YOUR QUESTION.

You know what he meant, "on what occasion"

I've never heard of a National Socialist claiming such a thing. Any example?

IT IS A FACT; SOMETHING THAT OCCURS, AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING.

IS HE ASKING ME FOR A SPECIFIC INSTANCE? IF SO, WHAT IS THAT GOING TO PROVE? IT IS FUTILE.

Sorry, Hitler was right-wing because he was socially conservative. Same reason Stalin was a right-wing.

they didn't play that game. They took elements from both spectrus and merged it in order to attract both sides to them

Of course, the murder of Rohm and Gregor Strasser was meant to diminish both the revolutionary and socialist aspect of the Party respectively.

>Hitler was right-wing because he was socially conservative.

That statement is utterly erroneous.

Hitler supported basically every progressive policy that existed at the time.
1. Free abortion for non whites
2. Central planning and anti globalization
3. Fought western capitalist powers and supported the Tiger Legion, Arab Legion, INA, Muslim Chechens and other anticolonialist movements
4. Anti capitalist antisemitism
5. Goering secretly negotiated with the Jewish National Fund to ally against British rule of Palestine
6. Praised many aspects of Islam
7. Won a larger share of the female vote than the male vote
8. Domestic stimulus policies, versus Stalin's export oriented austerity policies
9. All major Allied powers were white; Hitler allied with Japan
10. Many senior National Socialists were homosexuals and/or Jews

Outside the West, and especially in the Middle East, Hitler is considered a progressive figure.

Well he was nationalist and socially conservative, doesn't really get anymore right-wing than that.

Go away, idiot.

He was not socially conservative

National Socialism is a variant of Fascism is Fascism is inherently neither left or right wing. It was created specifically because people didn't like either side.

>National Socialism is a variant of Fascism

Go, and learn, instead of posting misinformed nonsense.

Compare Hitler's own statements and policies with those of the NSDAP's left-wing which he eliminated. The Third Reich had a command economy by the end of the war, but it was always firmly on the right.

the word liberal has lost its meaning long ago

fuck urselfo

What's the defination of Folkish?

It's fascist. Right wing with some leftist trappings to secure the support of the working class.

Nationalism is not inherently right wing.
The workers of a nation might have it in their interest to limit immigration of cheap laborers to their nation, thus would be against immigration.

In Norway for example, the Labour Party is nearly as anti-immigration as the furthest right party (Progress Party), but it markets itself as pro-immigration, so it will appeal to socialists
but look at their voting record

Nazism was never left or right. It's third position, which has elements of both. At its basis, it's simply another form of collectivism with an emphasis on Germanic race/nationality.

Hahahaha that joke was even funnier the second time bro please stop it!

Syncretic, it does not easily fit into a simple dichotomy because it also deems captialism to be an inadequate system

Speaking in terms of economics, National Socialism was a mixed economy, allowing a mixture of state owned and privately owned businesses. However, socially speaking, the Third Reich was severely bent on traditionalism and anti-Marxism, making them socially conservative. In the long run, National Socialism was economically verging on left wing economic principles, but socially were severely conservative.

How was it not capitalistic?

>socially speaking, the Third Reich, was severely bent on traditionalism and anti-Marxism
to a degree, but they didn't have this traditional/reactionary notion of dismissing every piece of progress since the French Revolution
I don't think they embraced monarchy, even with Adolf Hitler as the Führer, he appears to me to embody the spirit of the people
His legitimacy emerged from the Völk, and not from God

I was speaking in more reference to their reinvestment into traditional apparel and reintroduction of Germanic lifestyles, including a re-embracing of certain pagan ideologies. They were scientifically more progressive because of their investment into the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Schutzstaffel, and Kreigsmarine, as well as civilian affairs from certain businesses the Reich posed ownership of.

best answer.
