I understand that there's some controversy here about whether the Nazi party is a far-left or far-right political organisation. I have replaced usages with "extremist", because I believe that there are elements of Nazi doctrine which come from both the extreme-left (socialism) and the extreme right (nationalism, institutional racism). I would suggest that although the Nazi party was never a mainstream right-wing party, there were many elements of Nazi doctrine which reflected the extreme-right more than the extreme-left.
