Sigh***** another much needed history lesson. The National SOCIALISTS were also left wingers but whereas the international communist movement believed in world communism without national borders the Nazis believe in German superiority. Otherwise they shared many of the same principals. Instead of government ownership of industry, industry was controlled by the government to a large degree. When workers went on strike during World War II ( and this is important), they were called traitors and many were hung. Only a government can do that so it was obvious that they were considered to be striking against the government and not Maybach. The Nazis introduced large youth camps built on the socialist ideals of shared hardship, community rewards, and crazy wild sex with underage girls.
The fact is that Nazism is a left wing poltiical philosophy that used facism to advance its cause.

1. "Nationalism" is, was, and has always been the exclusive province of right-whingers at any time in every corner of history. Look it up if you can figure out how.
2. The Red Communist Soviets were the left, not the Nazi's. Check out the Spanish Civil War where the Nazi surrogates (led by Francisco Franco) fought against the "Peoples' Army," led by Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway (well, not really - I'd better clarify that because your simple mind might actually bellieve it) er, the other guys who were the surrogates of the RC's (that would be Red Communists, NOT Roman Catholics). The bombing of Guernica, famously depicted by Picasso, was an air raid by the Luftwaffe (that would be the GERMAN air force). Franco's bunch won and he remained dictator until the late '60's-early '70's as the ultimate right-wing fascist.
3. Your simple mind cannot grasp the fact that just because any movement latches onto the word "socialist" doesn't necessarily make them actually socialistic, unless of course you were a German Jew whose possissions were confiscated and redistributed (to the Reich, not the German people).
4. And, finally - fascism is what the Nazi's used as a model both in governance and economic policy. That would be "fascism," the synergy between an oligarchy (i.e. big bidness) and government with the rest of the folks merely being raw material.
History lesson's over, retard.
