Yes, let's take a look at the party program.
But let's also take a look how much of that program was ever put into practice, shall we? Because judging a political philosophy by its ideals is one thing, but the real test is what happens when said ideals meet reality.
1. We demand the union of all Germans, on the basis of the right of the self-determination of peoples, to form a Great Germany.
Ironically, this is actually a liberal progressive position in German history. In this case, given that it also fits in with the fascist principle of one people, one state, I'd rate it as neutral.
2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in its dealings with other nations, and abolition of the Peace Treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
Also a neutral position, however it should be noted that this was an anti-left (or, more accurately, anti-establishment) position at the time.
3. We demand land and territory for the nourishment of our people and for settling our surplus population.
Fascist, in context.
4. None but members of the nation may be citizens of the State. None but those of German blood, whatever their creed, may be members of the nation. No Jew, therefore, may be a member of the nation.
Very fascist.
5. Anyone who is not a citizen of the State may live in Germany only as a guest and must be regarded as being subject to the Alien Laws.
Also fascist.
6. The right of voting on the leadership and laws of the State is to be enjoyed by the citizens of the State alone. We demand, therefore, that all official positions, of whatever kind, whether in the Reich, the provinces, or the small communities, shall be held by citizens of the State alone. We oppose the corrupt parliamentary custom of filling posts merely with a view to party considerations, and without reference to character or ability.
In context, highly fascist (Note that the Nazis had much more restrictive criteria for who is and isn't a citizen than Weimar ever did).
7. We demand that the State shall make it its first duty to promote the industry and livelihood of the citizens of the State. If it is not possible to nourish the entire population of the State, foreign nationals must be excluded from the Reich.
Again, fascist position. Everything the state does is to further the welfare of the state, with the assumption that this will better the lives of the people. This is a
collectivist position, not a socialist one.
8. All further non-German immigration must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who entered Germany subsequently to August 2, 1914, shall be required forthwith to depart from the Reich.
Nationalist as ****.
9. All citizens of the State shall possess equal rights and duties.
Not an inherently socialist position, is it, given that it is shared across many modern political philosophies.
10. It must be the first duty of every citizen of the State to perform mental or physical work. The activities of the individual must not clash with the interests of the whole, but must proceed within the framework of the community and must be for the general good.
Collectivist, not socialist. The socialist position is "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need"; this is framed as "from everyone for the state, from the state to everyone", which is a different thing.
11. Abolition of incomes unearned by work. BREAKING OF THE THRALDOM OF INTEREST.
This is a socialist position. You will note that it is the first one that is unequivocally socialist, communist even, in this list.
12. In view of the enormous sacrifice of life and property demanded of a nation by every war, personal enrichment through war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand, therefore, the total confiscation of all war profits.
Again, a collectivist position, but note the wording: It is the nation that suffers from this, not the people.
13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been amalgamated.
Technically a communist position, but a) the businesses would be subordinated to the state, not the workers and b) This only happened to businesses which were ran by jews. Funny how that worked out.
14. We demand that there shall be profit sharing in the great industries.
15. We demand a generous development of provision for old age.
16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, immediate communalization of the large department stores and their lease at a low rate to small traders, and that the most careful consideration shall be shown to all small traders in purveying to the State, the provinces, or smaller communities.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, the passing of a law for the confiscation without compensation of land for communal purposes, the abolition of interest on land mortgages, and prohibition of all speculation in land.
18. We demand ruthless war upon all those whose activities are injurious to the common interest. Sordid criminals against the nation, usurers, profiteers, etc., must be punished with death, whatever their creed or race.
I'm just going to skip through this part. Points 11 through 18 are the economic portion of the NSDAP party program, and were never put into practice. After Hitler was released from his incarceration in 1924, he started to look for funding from capitalist and industrialist circles; these points were quietly dropped from the actual party program shortly thereafter. Some of them made it into law, but enforcement only happened when it was politically acceptable (read: when there was a jew in need of killing)
19. We demand that the Roman law, which serves the materialistic world order, shall be replaced by a German common law.
Also never happened.
20. With the aim of opening to every capable and industrious German the possibility of higher education and consequent advancement to leading positions, the State must consider a thorough reconstruction of our national system of education. The curriculum of all educational establishments must be brought into line with the requirements of practical life. Directly the mind begins to develop the schools must aim at teaching the pupil to understand the idea of the State. We demand the education of specially gifted children of poor parents, whatever their class or occupation, at the expense of the State.
21. The State must apply itself to raising the standard of health in the nation by protecting mothers and infants, prohibiting child labor, and increasing bodily efficiency by legally obligatory gymnastics and sports, and by extensive support of clubs engaged in the physical training of the young.
Collectivist, not socialist (I'm seeing a pattern here...)
22. We demand the abolition of mercenary troops and the formation of a national army.
23. We demand legal warfare against conscious political lies and their dissemination in the press. In order to facilitate the creation of a German national press we demand that: (a) all editors, and their co-workers, of newspapers employing the German language must be members of the nation; (b) special permission from the State shall be necessary before non-German newspapers may appear (these need not necessarily be printed in the German language); ( c ) non-Germans shall be prohibited by law from participating financially in or influencing German newspapers, and the penalty for contravention of the shall be suppression of any such newspaper, and immediate deportation of the non-German involved It must be forbidden to publish newspapers which are damaging to the national welfare. We demand the legal prosecution of all tendencies in art and literature which exert a destructive influence on our national life and the closing of institutions which militate against the above-mentioned requirements.
Skipping through these, these were either irrelevant (mercenaries), or a pretext to deal with unwanted journalists and artists.
24. We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the moral and ethical feelings of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent recovery from within only on the principle: THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST
More fascist-flavoured collectivism.
25. That all the foregoing requirements may be realized we demand the creation of a strong, central national authority; unconditional authority of the central legislative body over the entire Reich and its organizations in general; and the formation of diets and vocational chambers for the purpose of executing the general laws promulgated by the Reich in the various States of the Confederation. The leaders of the Party swear to proceed regardless of consequences - if necessary at the sacrifice of their lives - toward the fulfillment of the foregoing Points.
So very fascist.
So, by my count, most of the points in this program are either outright fascist/nationalist, or collectivist. I think the issue is that you believe collectivist to be synonymous with socialist; this is a category error. It's as wrong as saying that Christianity, Islam and Judaism are the same religion.
Anyway, historically speaking, the points that come the closest to communist positions (the whole economy section) were also the ones least relevant in actual practice, with most of them heavily deemphasized in party propaganda long before 1933.
This I certainly agree with. The left/right spectrum, or indeed any one spectrum, must necessarily be a simplification.
So, if you know this, why do you keep saying that Fascism is left-wing, thereby associating modern liberals and progressives with it?
I can only repeat myself here: Making a connection between Fascism and Left-Wing politics (especially with contemporary Left-wing politics) requires so much ignorance of history and so much misunderstanding of political philosophy that anyone who does it is either woefully underqualified to have an opinion on the subject or is actively lying about it to make a point.
So by this logic we can assume that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is exactly what it says on the box, then?
There's a difference between propaganda and philosophy.
Yes, there is. It would help if you started to recognize this. The NSDAP party program was pure propaganda. The fascist manifesto you quote was also quickly left behind by Mussolini, and there never was any real attempt to put the socialist-seeming positions therein into practice.
