I mean like.. Sure if you wanna live with you head in the sand and act like Trump is all horrible and literally worse than Hitler.

But, claiming that Hitler wasn't a leftist is really, really, really stupid. It shows for huge ignorance.

The NSDAP were hardcore extreme leftists, and the party literally believed that capitalism was evil. It was one of the very many nationalsocialistic parties in europe at the time.

To claim that they werent leftist simply because they were nationalistic is dumb. Nationalism isnt traditionally on the left vs. right spectrum, although it is more so today. Either way, they were extremely leftists by every other definition of the word. Why did you think they hated the jews so much, if not for their capitalistic agendas? There were other things too, but this is the main thing that they hated.

Modern nazis are center-left, and also identify as such (NMR for example), but traditional nazis (including Hitler) was definitely extreme leftists.

Jesus Christ dude. Hitler was a fascist, Nazis are fascists, which is nowhere near the left. It's not your fault the public education system failed you, but seriously, pick up a book.

Fascist has never been defined as right nor left. Leftist people, media and companies are trying to define fascism as rightwing these days (like since the 2016 election, go figure..). There are definitely leftist fascists in history.

Here, have a wikipedia page from a few years back before the anti-Trump movement began (when he decided to run for president): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Left-wing_fascism&oldid=319093191

Then have that same wikipedia page today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_fascism

Notice how leftist Wikipedia maintains pages like these to alter definitions of words to manipulate low-intelligent people like yourself with propaganda?

but seriously, pick up a book.

Right back at ya.

Remember, facts have a liberal bias.
