Just making light of your typo, JLA.

Even the Wikipedia piece I linked above shows that the core beliefs of Nazism are leftist tenets, and while having a surface appearance of conservatism, are actually opposed to conservatism. Nazis in Germany were even hostile to the conservatism of the German army leadership. They wanted to abolish Christianity, at one point tried to replace it with worship of the Norse gods (which didn't go over well with the German people).

I was surprised, there is actually a large neo-nazi movement in Europe, and even in Russia! From what I've seen, it's the threat of overwhelming their cultures with foreign immigrants who aren't assimilating, more than anything else, that rallies neo-nazism.

But the tenets of authoritarian state control, abolishing capitalism, social Darwinism/evolution (to replace Christianity), and state dominance over personal freedoms such as having children, are all decidedly Left positions.
