Talk:Hitler Youth

Left Wing/Right Wing

I've basically reshaped this article and added some more content. Feel free to add any feedback. ArnoldLarny 13:33, 9 July 2009 (EDT)

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. Also, there were extremist political parties of no real allegiance (the Anarchists etc.) operating in Germany in the mid-1920s, so I suggest Extremist is a more sensible word to use in this context. I hope I have made my reasoning clear, and I invite any reply. I'm not some left-winger, I just feel that this is historically correct. ArnoldLarny 17:07, 11 July 2009 (EDT)

Your argument(s) would seem far more reasonable if you had not reverted the edits of a Administrator first, and posted here last, as well as label your edits as "minor", which means no substantiative changes have been made. It has been demonstrated over and over on this encyclopedia, that it is a liberal lie, a complete invention, that the Nazi's were/are right wing. That people like you continue to create accounts and make a bee-line to any article not stating that liberal orthodoxy is interesting, but rather common place, I'm afraid. Open your mind, Arnold, the truth will set you free! --ṬK_/Admin^/Talk 17:18, 11 July 2009 (EDT)

Seconded. The "racism is indigenous to the right" theory is simply unfettered commie rot. It's dangerously close to trolling. Rob Smith 17:23, 11 July 2009 (EDT)

Further, replacing Socialist with "extremist" does nothing to furhter your theory that the so-called right-wing is racist in outlook. The National Socialist in fact did mould thier youth organizatiuons after other Socialist organizations. Now, unless your argument is all Socialist organizations are extremist, that edit makes little sense other than denying the Socialist roots of National Socialist. And again, other "extremist" organizations may or may not have had youth organizations, so what non-Socialist albeit extremist organization could it have been modeled after.

Please, our intent is to write a factual encyclopedia and not to be just simply another platform for liberal/commie/progressive/whatever propaganda and anti-conservative hate speech. Thank you. Rob Smith 17:36, 11 July 2009 (EDT)
