Adolf Hitler: left or right?

[buritobr]

Arguments endorsing the view that he was left-wing
> The name of his party
> The color of the flag of his party
> NSDAP had an anti-capitalist wing: the SA
> State interventionism in the economy in the Third Reich
> German-Soviet Treaty (1939-1941)

Arguments endorsing the view that he was right-wing
> The most definitive one: when his government was established, in January 1933, the right-wing parties in the Reichstag endorsed it and the left-wing parties (SPD and KPD) opposed
> There were communist demonstrations in Berlin against Hitler when he became the chancellor
> The German Stock Markets rose when Hitler became the chancellor: stock markets usually "vote" for the right
> The former kaiser, in exile, endorsed Hitler
> During the Weimar Republic, the sum of the vote for the left (SPD+KPD) was stable. When the vote for the SPD decreased after 1929, the vote for the KPD increased. The vote for the NSDAP increased when the vote for the other right-wing parties decreased
> Hitler closed the SA
> Hitler supported the nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. Even though, there are some crazy far right people nowadays who say that Hitler was left-wing and that Franco was a nice guy
> The nazi state interventionism supported wage decrease and profit increase. It favored higher income inequality
> The Weimar Republic had good relations with the USSR. The soviet-german relations froze between 1933 and 1939. They were restored in 1939 because Germany needed raw and the USSR needed time
