view · edit Frequently asked questions Why does this article say that the Nazis were right-wing? Because that is the consensus of reliable sources, in this case historians and political scientists. But the word "socialist" is right in their name! Many political entities have names that can be misleading. Consider, for example, the Holy Roman Empire (a confederation of mainly German territories during the Middle Ages and the early modern period) and North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (a totalitarian dictatorship). In addition to this, the usage of the word "socialism" by the Nazis is different from the common usage of the term "socialism", which refers to an economic philosophy involving advocacy for social ownership of the means of production. In the case of the Nazi party, the phrase "national socialist" was a nationalist response to the rise of socialism in Europe by offering a redefinition of "socialism" to refer to the promotion of the interests of the nation, as opposed to ideas of individual self-interest. But there was no policy of social ownership of the means of production. The Nazis did talk about capitalism being bad, but they defined it as a Jewish-originated economic philosophy based on individualism that promoted plutocracy in the interest of the Jews, at the expense of non-Jewish nations and races. This was put in contrast to the Nazis' conception of socialism, which was done in order to win over people attracted to anti-capitalist and socialist ideas to their cause. They rejected ideas of equality and working class solidarity, instead advocating for social hierarchy and national strength. This article sums it up well. I made an offhand comment about it and somebody just came along and deleted it! What should I do? Nothing. See this discussion where the community came to a consensus that we have entertained the numerous questions and claims about the Nazis being left-wing enough, and that continued engagement with people pushing this line of reasoning is not helpful to the article. That doesn't seem very fair. Don't Misplaced Pages policies require editors to assume good faith? What if somebody posts that position here with a really good argument? See the following links, all of which are to discussions about this very question over time. Any argument someone thinks is novel has already been made, been responded to, and failed to convince anyone. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , But what if I find a large number of very reliable sources all claiming that Nazism is left-wing? Then you will be more than welcome to show them to us, so that we can see that they are very reliable and that they assert that Nazism is a left-wing ideology. If they are, then we will change the article.

Nazism is a far-right ideology. The consensus of political scientists, historians, and other reliable sources is that Nazism is a far-right ideology and not a left-wing or far-left one. This has been discussed numerous times. Please see this FAQ and read the talk page archives.Please do not request that "far-right" be changed to "left-wing" or "far-left"; your request will be denied, and you may be blocked from editing if you persist in doing so.

"Nazi Party" is the English-language common name for the National Socialist German Workers Party. Per our policy, WP:COMMONNAME, English Misplaced Pages uses the common name in English for the titles of our articles, and in most references to that subject. Thus "Nazi Party" and "Nazism" are the names of our articles on those subjects, and in most instances the National Socialist German Workers Party is referred to as the Nazi Party, but occasionally, to avoid repetition, by the full English-language name, or by its German acronym, NSDAP.Please do not request that the name of the party be changed; such requests are routinely turned down.

Picture missing from article

I stumbled across this article and noticed that when you hover over Nazism the picture of the Nazi flag is missing (it's present in the series of Nazism, but not for the article itself).

Is it okay if I add it?

P.S. I deeply apologize if this has already been discussed here, I currently don't see any mentions of it. Wikieditor662 (talk) 18:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

It is there in desktop view in the sidebar link spam banner..... I have added an option for mobile view. At the bottom of every page you'll see an option for mobile/desktop view.... is this the thing you had in mind? Moxy🍁 20:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Ah, thank you, it works now. Wikieditor662 (talk) 20:44, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Context

Would it be better in the lede to have a clause before the Freikorps sentence that puts Nazism in the wider context of scientific racism and eugenics that were dominant in European academia during the 19th and early 20th centuries? Kowal2701 (talk) 21:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

In the body, the first sentence of the origins section needs to be expanded on a little Kowal2701 (talk) 21:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Rfc responses

@Slatersteven, Srich32977, Orenburg1, ActivelyDisinterested, Jlwoodwa, Nikkimaria, JohnAdams1800, Roggenwolf, HapHaxion, Docktuh, SMcCandlish, and Grayfell: It would be much appreciated if editors (any and all, not just those pinged) could please reply to the rfc here. This is relevant to Nazism and the "Nazism is a right-wing ideology." notice that appears at the top of the editing page when users attempt to edit pages such as this one (i.e. Talk:Nazism).
