→The NSDAP was a right-wing party
::::As for SamHB, I can't say I agree with his political views, nor can I support everything he's done, but in general he seems to be trying to help improve the accuracy and quality of this site. He himself has admitted that he doesn't even bother to read some political things, because he doesn't agree. However, he has put a lot of work in on math and science aspects, and has done plenty of proof-reading. I don't agree with his argument in this case, but changing this would not be some kind of "conceding to his liberal aspirations" but an improvement in a accuracy, as I see it. If we're getting all tied up in knots over this, I'm sure other people are too (just look at all the [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Was+the+nazi+partiy+right-wing+or+left-wing&t=ffab barely and poorly answered questions] out there). If we can explain the source of this confusion and answer the basic question, we'd be in a pretty good place, it seems to me. If you want a different viewpoint, this might interest you, as well: [http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2798754/posts] after all, it can always get worse, I suppose... --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 09:26, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

:::::The world's view of German politics was shaped by the Spanish Civil War. Francisco Franco, Benito Mussolini and Adolph Hitler were all fascists. Perhaps you should put that word in the infobox instead of "left" or "right". [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 10:08, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

*Hitler and Göbbels were not only brutal murderers, they were skilled liars, too. They proclaimed that they were neither right nor left, and they promised everything to everyone - when talking to Hindenburg's camarilla, they created the impression that they were not against a return of the monarchy, when talking to workers, they became anti-capitalists.
*It is absurd to try to place the NSDAP in the modern American liberal-conservative continuum as the questions which move today's America often weren't relevant to Germans (or other people) in the 1920s and 1930s. No one asked for "less state" ''or'' "same sex marriage".
*That said, it is just an oversimplification to say that the NSDAP was ''far-right'', but it is potentially misleading, and demands further explanations, to call them ''far-left''.
*"fascistic" will do
