Yeah...except that nazis like Von Brunn are LEFT wing extremists, not right wing. People have forgotten that communism and nazism/fascism were competitors for representing left wing politics (democracy has always represented the right wing).
Descriptions of nazism/fascism as "right wing" are leftover communist propaganda from WWII. Except, back then, people knew it was bullshit. Today, they have forgotten.
No right wing movements associate with people like Von Brunn. Leftists still do.
@d2146498 The problem with Nazis is that the aren't clearly right or left. Nazis are VERY right wing when it comes to social issues. Their economic policy is left, yes. Because Nazis place their emphasis on social issues they get classified as right wing. If they didn't, and focused on economic issues, maybe it would be different.
great point well said
