The Nazis were not "leftists" nor true Socialists. There are no "poor people" nor are there "corporations" or "private businesses". There are no rich capitilists in Socialisim and there were MANY in Nazi Germany.
Huge corporations like Krups, Bayer, Dhimler and Phillips made private fortunes under the Nazis and all of them increased those PRIVATE PROFITS by usind slave labor, and in the case of Bayer (yes, those nice aspirin people) made medical advances by using Jews as guni pigs. Corporations did very well under Hitler and the Nazis because Hitler was not a true Socialist. He was, in fact a Corporatist.
You pick and choose from Hitlers so called "manifesto" (which I can find no verifiable refrence to) but what are you leaving out? Link to the document please....I'd like to read the whole thing. You also ignore the reality that WAS NAzi Germany - corporate power run amok, humans used as slave labor and lab rats to increase corporate profits. You sir, are the revisionist.

If you had actually read the Nazi party manifesto you would realize that you are wrong.
for instance here are a select few....
point no.7: We demand that the state shall make it its primary duty to provide a lively hood for its citizens.
no11: The abolition of income by unearned work.
no12: ...we demand therefore confiscation of all war profits
no13: we demand the nationalization of all private businesses that have been formed into corporations
no14: we demand profit sharing in large industries
no15: we demand the extensive development of insurance for old age [the Nazis would form an extensive social security system]
no16: We demand... the immediate communalising of big department stores, and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders ....
no21: the state must insure the nations health standards are raised..... [the Nazis would start the current German national health care system]when the Nazis took charge the govt. nationalized many private industries and those that were not were subjected to harsh government regulation. they also put in rent reform to help poor people and an extensive welfare system. the Nazis also outlawed private gun ownership.
Hitler and the Nazis were socialist, many Nazis were former members of the socialist party. Hitler explained why he went from a socialist to a national socialist, it was because socialism is 'workers of the world unite' but he believed in Germany first so his motto (and this was an official motto of the Nazis) 'workers of Germany unite'.
the party name was originally the DAP or German workers party but after the putch it became NSDAP or National Socialist German Workers Party. under the Nazis there was forced unionization and high tax on corporate taxes (for the non nationalized companies). The NSDAP was the political enemy of the DNVP or the conservatives, the two only worked together to form a parliamentary coalition (like the conservatives and liberals in the UK) and then Hitler stabbed them in the back.the Nazis were avowed Socialists and you obviously never read any of Hitlers or the Nazi party writings or you would know this. the only thing the Nazis had that was right-wing was Nationalism, but on all other fronts they were extreme leftists. so Ed you learn you history and stop throwing out you revisionist crap. besides all political sides used propaganda not just right-wing one. ED LEARN YOUR FACTS AND HISTORY

Another great episode in a great historic series. I love the narrative style: Straight on, matter of fact, don't soften the blow, call it how it is, and if you're offended by a spade being called a spade---shut up and grow a pair!

When ill informed or deliberately ignorant people tell you that the NAZI’s were leftist due to the fact that Socialist appears in their title, remind them that the DPRK is not democratic because it has the word in its title. Only the feeble minded believe such simple minded failed attempts at logic. These gross oversimplifications were why programs like “Why We Fight” were created. Forgetting history, or in the case of the statement below, deliberately rewriting history will doom us to repeat it.In Mien Kampf, Hitler specifically states that he chose his parties name to “confuse” the masses and trick the simple-minded “bourgeoisie” into considering his views. Additionally, Hitler, Goebbels, Georing, Himmler and Bormann stated on countless occasions that the NAZI party was opposed to all things the political left stood for. You can find these statements in their letters, diaries and what remains of transcriptions of their late night discussions where they often had a good laugh over the fact that people were so stupid as to think that the NAZI’s might be politically left. As a basic introduction to the topic read the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. You will have to read dozens of other books on the topic but this book is a great place to start as it is wrttien by a man that lived in Germany druing the entirety of Hitlers rise to powerSo, why do we fight? We fought to protect the world from that evil that was the radical right wing fascism of Hitler’s NAZI party. They used propaganda very effectively, as does the modern American right wing. So, when someone too childish or too lazy to study history says… ""By the way, when someone tries to tell you Nazis were "ultra right-wing conservatives" tell them the truth, "Nazi" stands for National SOCIALIST Party in German and was an ultra-LEFT WING political party."" tell them to learn their history from books written by historians not books written by political operatives! Hitler and Goebbels especially would be proud of modern day conservatives for their effective use of propaganda and revision of history. He too used these techniques to control the feeble minded. In closing, spreading lies like the NAZI’s were “ultra-LEFT WING” dishonors the sacrifices of millions of men and women who gave their lives fighting fascism and lies told by both early 20th century conservatives, and very sadly, modern day far right conservatives as well.

And then what happened? Smug little french....
