For those who continue to claim falsely that National Socialism is a right-wing ideology, you are either completely delusional or deliberately dishonest about where National Socialism falls on the political spectrum. Let’s get this straight: if you’ve actually read Adolf Hitler and understood National Socialism, you’d know he didn’t see his ideology as strictly right or left. He pitched it as a centered alternative—a "third way" that supposedly transcended the tired old labels. Hitler never once claimed to be far-right, and pretending otherwise is just historical fan fiction. As for the beliefs of modern day national socialists? They don’t align with the far-right either—especially since they ditch individual liberties for state control like it’s a hot new trend.
Let me break this down with some basic facts. The dictionary defines socialism as state control over the economy. Socialism, by definition, is a left-wing concept. Hitler explicitly called himself a socialist—yes, a National Socialist—so the idea that he thought of himself as far-right is absurd. These ignorant Stew Peter worshipping National Socialists can’t just wave that away because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
And here’s where it gets even dumber: they've got the whole thing backward by claiming Liberals are the Far Left. Liberals—in the classical sense—are the ones on the far-right. They’re the ones championing free markets and individual freedom, the cornerstones of what we call hardcore capitalism. Meanwhile, Marxist Democrats and other statists have co-opted the term “liberal” to pretend they’re about freedom when they’re anything but. It’s a linguistic heist, and the national socialists fell for it.
So, let me dismantle why the stance of the modern day National Socialists—and Hitler’s— isn’t right-wing at all. But firmly on the left. Buckle up.
1. Economic Position: State Over Everything
While Right-Wing ideology is all about capitalism: private ownership, free markets, and either minimal or no government interference in the economy. The National Socialists aren't and can’t claim to be right-wing when they are openly hostile to private ownership. Hitler didn’t just talk a big game—he amended the German Constitution to make property ownership conditional. That’s right: the state could seize your stuff whenever you didn’t align with the National Socialist racial agenda. That’s not “minimal government”; it’s a power grab on steroids. Sounds a lot like socialism to me—centralized control, top-down economic meddling. Left-wing playbook, full stop.
2. Role of Government: Big Brother Vibes
Here’s another reality check: right-wing groups, especially the far-right, push for a smaller government presence in people’s lives—or, in some cases, its complete abolition (shoutout to the anarcho-capitalists as myself). As for the National Socialists and Marxists? They are cut from the same cloth. Both are obsessed with big government and heavy intervention. Neither of them advocate for reducing the state, let alone eliminating it. That puts them nowhere near the far-right. They are squarely on the far-left, whether they like it or not. To National Socialist liars claiming they are on the right. Go sob about it, socialist cowards.
The Bottom Line
National Socialism isn’t some misunderstood right-wing ideology—it’s a statist, collectivist mess that shares more DNA with left-wing socialism than it ever will with the liberty-loving right. Hitler’s own words and actions back this up. If you’re still clinging to the idea that it’s far-right, you’re either ignoring the evidence or just here to troll. Either way, the political spectrum doesn’t bend to your feelings. Deal with it.
