Could we say that Nazism mixes elements from the right and left spectrum?

No. They only adopted the name socialism in the National socialist party because they thought it would be better optics and get them more votes. In actual practice, they were extremely right wing with some caveats. Their views towards religion were conflicted I guess was probably the best way to put it They were interested in the occult but felt that the church could help control the masses. Their economic policies were positively fascist. Their social policy is for also extremely right-wing such as hero of the motherland medals if you gave more than six children to the Reich.

I'm sorry, but historically it's not possible to link the right to the fascism of being itself. In fact, the fascism created in Italy in the 1920s comes precisely from socialism. We could say without fear of making mistakes that fascism is a son of socialism

[DrPepper12]

Modern definitions of fascism encompass more than just Italy. Fascism an offspring of socialism? No sir. History does not support that premise.

[MaxUsefull]

So the concept of fascism is relative and is dictated by the left? you should be more intellectually honest

[DrPepper12]

Pick up any modern history textbook. Nazism is UNDER the heading of fascism. It's NOT just Italy. Historians have broadeed the meaning of the word. Oh, and the US school book market is controlled by Texas. How's that for honest?

[MaxUsefull]

Nazi ideologues created Nazism very based on Italian fascism, so we could say that Nazism descends from socialism but is mixed with Darwinism

[DrPepper12]

Agree to disagree. There are more components of conservative ideology than socialism.

[IceCreamSandwich]

You could say that, sure. After all, left people say one thing, and right people do a different thing. Both of those could be considered elements, I guess.

[mbarsi01]

Maybe but just like any religion or paradigm there can be extremists like the Nazis

[MaxUsefull]

Yes, unfortunately
