With respect to talkign about the Nazi's as a far right party we are indeed correct. However, it is important to recognise that the far-right and centre right have different stances on just about everything except economics where rampant capitalism is prefered over a carefully controlled economic policy.

The same is true of Socialist and Communism. Socialist are centre-left wing parties who believe in change through the system - new laws, union rights etc.Under a socialist government there is no major and rapid modification of the system intitutions or laws, merely chanegs that creep forward towards the socialist ideal. there is balence in a socialist system. Communists advocate the violent destruction of the systm, redistribution of wealth and a totally new system. (IE Russia in 1917-1920)

The rise of Hitler can be blamed, in part, on the failure of many German newspapers to differentiate betweeen the hard-line moscow back Communiosts who were rioting on the streets of Berlin in the early 20's. And the moderate Socialist in the Reichstag who were desperatly trying to crush the uprisings.
