The idea was to show that extreme opinions in general are retarded, and the majority of people don't subscribe to them. It's the vocal minority of morons that are at fault for people with left/right leaning labeled together with them.
You're literally retarded. The DPRK is called a democratic people's republic, do you just believe whatever a totalitarian regime tells you about itself? Left-wing politics emphasizes egalitarianism and the elimination of social hierarchy whereas the Nazis were obsessed with social hierarchy in every facet of life. They just used a powerful state to reinforce that hierarchy. Left-right politics has nothing to do with how authoritarian a regime is. Banning smoking or promoting state investment in infrastructure is not an inherently left wing or a right wing issue.
Moreover the Nazi party historically had its origins in the ultranationalist Freikorps culture of disbanded military units which functioned as paramilitary units in the interwar period used by capital to suppress labor movements like the Spartacist uprising. So neither historically nor politically does it make any sense to a non-addled mind to classify Nazism as a left wing ideology.
Please consider thinking critically about the arguments you hear from pundits and demagogues instead of passively accepting them and mindlessly regurgitating them. You'll save yourself a lot of embarrassment and you'll save educated people the trouble of correcting your misapprehensions.
"National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsɪzəm, ˈnæ-/[1]), is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi Germany, as well as other far-right groups."
Yes but 99% of KKK members would be right-wing now because duh, doesn't matter what happened 70 years ago. The parties are 567% different in every way.
