Fascism is viewed as extreme right wing. The Nazis were socialists in nothing but name. Some of the techniques between Fascism and Bolshevism are similar but the major difference shows up when you take their views on people in. Fascism is about ultimate Inequality between people, covering everything from economic to race, while communism/bolshevism is about ultimate equality between people. Things never work out quite that well in the real world but that is really the divide.
You could not possibly be more wrong about what Facism actually is. It has nothing to do with "Inequality." In a Facist regime, all people, outside the government itself, are equal. They are equally worthless and expendable to the whims and desires of an all-encompassing government. To a Facist,the government is all that matters, and that government takes everything. How is that "right-wing," to anyone outside of the Frankfurt School?
Now that I put an extra second and a half of thought into it, that description of Facism does sound an awful lot like Communism/Bolshevism, don't it?

Because the Nazi Party was Socialist like North Korea is a Democratic Republic. If you remember back to your education, the Nazis had no reservations about killing political and ideological opponents, which included proponents of Social Liberalism, Democratic Socialism, Social Libertarians, Communists, and others along the left side of the political spectrum. The Nazis themselves were very much traditionalists and racial purists (to the extreme extent of White Supremacy), and several high ranking members of the SS were devoutly Conservative Religious individuals.
That's a cute line at the beginning. Can I use that?
But, that said, you're leaving out a shiut-ton and a quarter from the list of people whom the Nazis targetted with their political killings. They also targetted anyone who believed that the government had no place being as large as Hitler wanted it to be. (Those would be people on the right side of the aisle, by the way.) The fact that a self-described socialist went out of his way to kill any and all political enemies doesn't place him in the right wing.
As far as "Racial Purists" are concerned, well, this is a good time to show a film strip to the class. So, circle your desks, kids, and watch, cause our guest speaker, Mr. Alfonzo Rachel, is going to educate you guys on some of the history of the Ku Klux Klan.
You see, children, the Ku Klux Klan, and, well, EVERY racial seperatist group in American History, has been consistantly left-wing. And, if you were to actually read the book "Mein Kamph," (Which was probably the worst book I've ever been fored to read, outside of the communist Manifesto. How does ANYONE actually take Karl Marx seriously?) you would see that Hitler drew inspiration from the more seperatist actions of American history, which all stem from the left.
Former Senator Robert Byrd was a devout Christian, also. That didn't stop him from attaining multiple high ranks in the KKK. The point of that is, how a person treats their relationship with their perception of God has very little, if anything at all, to do with how a erson will treat other people. I really hope I covered everything that I wanted to cover on this one. But, I'm tired, and don't have the energy to post here again tonight.
