Khandro - “... When Hitler made all members of the armed forces swear allegiance to him personally (before their country) he was being ultra fascistic, and therefore what would be termed 'right wing'...”
Khandro, I thank you for responding to this thread in such a polite manner. I appreciate it more than you can know.
I asked the original question about whether Hitler was right of left wing for a very good reason. I have also stated that I could not care less whether he was left or right. In addition, I have asked whether the foundation of Fascism is based in either left or right wing politics. Again, I don't really care what the answer is, I just what to know what it is and then analyse whether what we are repeatedly told in schools and universities, in the newspapers and on TV, is factually accurate.
And my enquires have led me to this conclusion - Fascism (and by extension, Hitler who fits the fascist model) was born from the ultra left wing of politics.
You yourself have stated (in my selective quotation of your previous post above) that Fascism is deemed to be ultra right wing. Why is Fascism deemed to be right wing? What has lead you to believe that the ultra left wing political figure, Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini - the leading member of the National Directorate of the Italian Socialist Party – would suddenly switch political stripes and lurch from left to right to create the political ideology we now know today as Fascism?

It simply does not make sense. Mussolini was a socialist – his feet were firmly and deeply planted within the political left. Fascism was an ideology born from the political left and yet – and this goes right back to my original post – we are told that Fascism is a right wing creation. It isn't. It can't be. Its creator was a left wing political idealist.
