Was Hitler really right wing?
Discussion
Hitler’s always been a tricky one for the more right wing on PHs.
They like to say nothing good has ever come from the left and they point out Stalin and Pol Pot etc. Then Lefties point out Hitler and (and other dictators) etc and the right wingers have to say yeah but Hitler was actually a lefty because he was a national socialist.

Just to add:
This is how it happens again. This sort of thing right here.
Everyone involved in the Second World War eventually dies. Their first person accounts of the utter horror of that time die with them.
People begin blaming their problems on other people. On other races. On other religions.
Trump gets voted in. Says staggeringly vile things. People cheer.
Brexit gets voted for. Many voters mutter things about immigration.
People start feeling free to spout in public at ‘hearing foreign languages on the bus’ and ‘seeing too many brown faces in the street’.
Daily news articles on social media begin to fill with comments from thousands of people saying things about other humans that I do not want to repeat. Many other stand on the sidelines nodding in agreement.
Threads get started where people will probably end up saying things that paint Hitler in a slightly more favourable light.
Then eventually, an extremely charismatic, forceful and vocal politician will come along and tell the whole country that that all their problems are caused by immigrants, brown people, gypsies, Muslims, Jews, the disabled.
They will say that things can be ‘better’.
The people will roar their approval.

Geniune question as obviously I've been on another planet. What are the vile things you speak of? Trump gets voted in. Says staggeringly vile things. People cheer.
I was actually going to start writing a list of all the sexist, racist, offensive, and obnoxious things he has said over the years, but I quickly realised there was far too much to list.
Just google “worst things Donald Trump has said” and similar searches, and begin reading.
