Hitler a right-wing beast

Hitler was right-wing no matter what they say. Denying people rights is not left-wing. Being left-wing is in Barry goldwater's words: "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. I would also remind you that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

Hitler was not extreme in defending freedom, he was extreme in destroying it. He was a beast.

Not giving somebody free speech is right-wing.

Not alllwing somebody the right to dance is right-wing.

Not treating somebody with human dignity is right wing.

Hitler did all these things. He was an evil right-winger.
