Okey, there is a great deal of misinformation and/or misrepresentation in this thread...To make it clearer:
-- Adolf Hitler on his Leftist ideology, taken from Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives by Allan Bullock.
Same quote can be found in Documents on Nazism: 1919-1945 by Jeremy Noakes, ‎Geoffrey Pridham and The Invention of Fascism by Lawrence Alan Rosenthal and other sources.
Also, the acronym "Nazism" stands foror "National Socialism; German: Nationalsozialismus)" and Hitler was the leader of the The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party.
So yeah, Hitler was a Lefty, both in his political views and when he used a pen. (pun intended)
I hope this helped to clear up the issue. 👆
The Only Misinformation is from you. National Socialsim is not Socialism.
Wiki which is a far more impartial and respected sourece than anything you are using and cites.
National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsɪzəm, ˈnæ-/[1]), is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi state, as well as other far-right groups. Usually characterised as a form of fascism that incorporates scientific racism and antisemitism, Nazism developed out of the influences of Pan-Germanism, the Völkisch German nationalist movement and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary groups that emerged during the Weimar Republic after German defeat in World War I.
