→far-Left vs far-Right
:No, the change was wrong. It was an attempt at vandalism by a biased liberal editor who wrongly believes that the Nazis were "far-Right" even though evidence proves otherwise, that they were actually far-Left (and was even confirmed by Hitler and Goebbels themselves).

::I thought so, but "right" and "left" can mean different things in different countries I believe, so I wasn't sure. This change was also made on the Hitler article. Thanks for clearing that up! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 12:09, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

I have made two changes.
:*About the second amendment—several days ago I made a number of unseemly changes to a number of countries (all European Union, as I recall), putting them into the same anti-second-amendment category. This was done to show how utterly ridiculous this would be. Those countries, and, in fact, almost all the countries of the world, have stricter control over private ownership of firearms than the United States does. But the second amendment of the United States Constitution does not apply to them. To mention that fact, pointing out that they would be in violation of the second amendment if it applied to them, would be utterly absurd. All other countries have different laws than we do. Pointing out those laws is silly. As further examples, many other countries have stricter restrictions on abortion than the Roe-v-Wade court decision in the United States. But we don't have an "anti-Roe-v-Wade" category. We also don't have an "anti-Obergefell-v-Hodges" category for those countries that prohibit same-sex marriage.
:*About right-wing versus left-wing—the Nazi regime was considered right-wing, relative to what the terms meant at the time, during the period that it existed. And there is massive evidence that it would still be considered right-wing relative to what the terms mean at present. Here are a few examples, based on the perceptions of those terms that one might get from reading Huffington Post (left) and World Net Daily (right):
::*Abortion. In the United States, the left generally wants fewer restrictions on abortion; the right wants more. I hope people reading this have read enough about the subject that they agree with me. Nazi Germany used forced abortion as part of their eugenics/genocide program. But that's not the approach taken in the United States. The Nazis did this in order to wipe out races and ethnicities that they considered inferior. They also used forced sterilization, and, in fact, simply murdered people from races and ethnicities they didn't like. That's not what people on the left are asking for in the contemporary United States. A better comparison would be with the Nazi's attitude toward abortion of Aryan people, that is, the race that they liked. Abortion of an Aryan fetus was punishable by death.
::*Same-sex marriage. The contemporary left in the United States is generally tolerant toward this, and in fact it is now protected by the Obergefell v. Hodges court decision. Nazi Germany not only didn't tolerate same-sex marriage, they didn't tolerate homosexuals at all. They were routinely executed. Along with Jew, Poles, the Romani and Sinti people, etc.
::*Transgender bathroom rights (or whatever you want to call it.) This bit of contemporary nonsense, promoted by the left in the United States, simply had no counterpart at all in Nazi Germany. But it's hard to believe the Nazis would have tolerated such a thing.
::*Immigration. The left in the United States generally favors immigration, even among people who don't have the necessary legal permission. The Nazis would never have tolerated it. They didn't even want people emigrating out of Germany.
