Was Hitler economically left wing?

[Marokai Backbeat]

Hitler's economics were authoritarian and pro-Hitler. It's about as simple as that. Economic policies, as well as Nazi social policies, were all about instituting their backwards impression of "order" and "purity" and so on and maintaining their power.

The single nationally instituted union doesn't even resemble any other form of independent labor unions. The context in your comparisons is also incredibly important and you over-look it, as intent of an action matters more than the action itself in determining what, precisely, it is.

It was a way to control employment, and those in employment (which was very common in Nazi Germany, as they attempted to institute strict controls over healthcare and education, as well as other things, to keep Jews from being educated or being in the health sector) and nothing more. It wasn't really "left wing" or "right wing." It just was what it was, to further Nazi goals.

One of these days, one of these threads will send our Al on a murderous rampage.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
