It's a more complex issue than that.

Many scholars have taken the position that he was right wing and I believe he was too.

The point I'm making isn't to make conservatives look bad like some people do saying, "Well look, Hitler was from the Right, therefore the right is evil." Mao and Stalin were from the left and killed many more than Hitler did.

If this thread was started to stimulate discussion then some very good points were made already regarding Hitler and the Nazis being extremest, right wingers. But if (as is the case on gfy often) it was for sig whoring or trying to keep the board alive with drama threads and conflict topic starters then ... well, I'm out.
