It's fact that Nazism is far right. The only reason that the "National Socialist" movement had the adjective socialist in its name was to appeal to the working class of Germany. There was nothing socialist about it. Hitler had to convince the workers that he could look out for them better than the communists claimed they would (there was a pretty large communist party in pre-war Germany... before 1933, of course). According to practically all noteworthy encyclopaedias that cover the subject, Nazism consists of ideas that are most often associated with the far right.

Usually, the only people who describe Nazism as a left ideology are right wingers who don't want someone like Hitler to have anything in common with them - even if economically. So they dump it on the left. Truth is: Hitler was right, Stalin was left; there have been, are and will be pricks on both sides of the argument. I hope that people like the guy who kept editing the Fourth Reich page stop misleading others into believing their crap. Anyway, I hope you banned him for breaking the rules repeatedly. I guess it is best to leave out left and right in that article, if someone is so determined to keep coming back and causing more chaos because of it. The new description is still accurate. :)
