has anyone read those speeches i posted? they opened my eyes to how the national socialists really felt about things. and here for all these years i was taught that nazis were capitalists!

It is a tricky matter, probably we are saying the same thing with different words.
THe triky part is that "right wing" has been used to define HItler, Pinochet and Reagan, while "left wing" can describe Stalin, Kennedy and Zapatero. Just to make some examples.
THe real point is that the Right-Left definition is "FUBAR" if you let me use this expression. People usually decide one side is "good" and then they put in that side what they believe is good.
Probably it would be best to choose an analytical approach, and try to decompose political doctrines in their components.
