Hitler was right wing
Reader comment on item: The Paterson 'Protocols'
in response to reader comment: Hitler Was Indeed Left Wing
Submitted by Adam Powell (United Kingdom), Dec 12, 2011 at 16:52
Why is it that many Americans have no understanding of right wing and left wing? I generalise a little, but only a little. The mistake they make is confusing means and ends. Methods and overall aims. Hitler's methods could resemble Stalin but his ideal society was very different. One rooted in inequality; that is why he is right wing.
