Can anyone show me a reference to Nazis being right wing dating to before 1980?

You must be joking. Look at how many references in old political writings that refer to Fascism (if which the Nazi variety is only one example) as "right wing". There are a million.

Fascism was the conservative reaction to Socialism, essentially the Corporatist answer to the problems created by the socal discontent of the Industrial Revolution. The fascist solution is a strong central government answerable only to its closest supporters.

Hitler was an example of how racism in a state can be evil, but not a good example of Fascism. Franco in Spain or Peron in Argentina are better examples of the pure form.

Yes, we always called Fascism right wing. The giveaway is that the Fascists always murder the Socialists when they gain power.

The extreme racism that conservative fascist Hitler and the Nazi's had against the Jewish people kind of reminds me of the conservatism in the southern States (Con Democrats then, Con Republican today) have in America against the blacks.

Hungary's Right wing party has been around for a long time.

You mean NOT right wing. Everybody thought that before 1980.

'Socialism in one country

'A foundation of the Stalinist political theory, introduced for the first time in 1924, after Lenin's death. The theory was in direct opposition to the Bolshevik theory that the success of the Russian Revolution depended on proletarian revolutions in Europe. The Stalinist theory stipulated that a socialist society could be achieved inside a single country. '

Originally, socialism called for all workers in the world to rise up en masse in a revolution that transcended national boundaries, and that established a global socialist utopia for the benefit of all of mankind.

By the 1920's, it had become clear that the envisioned global socialist revolution simply was not going to happen.

Instead, socialist revolutionaries went their own ways.

Stalin determined that the only successful revolution would have to be done one country at a time.

Mussolini determined that the only successful revolution would involve bringing in the ruthless force of violence and corporatism. He found himself limited to transforming his own country into his fascist ideal.

Hitler later adopted what he saw as the most devastatingly successful elements of Stalinism and Mussolini's fascism.

Socialism shattered into the splinters of Stalinism, fascism, National Socialism, and later Maoism.

When Mussolini's fascism emerged, Stalin and other leftists promptly branded fascism as right wing because it accommodated capitalism with its form of nationalizing the means of production by corporatism.

When Hitler rose, he branded all other splinters of socialism as enemies of humanity, and he set to work crushing them.

Mussolini was repulsed by Nazism and decried it as "100 percent racism."

By the time Mao rose to power, Hitler and Mussolini were dead. Stalin and Mao were bitter enemies because Stalin rejected Mao as yet another false socialist, and he sided with the existing government of China against Mao's revolution.

The socialist revolution splintered, and the leaders of each splinter attacked the other splinters as being abominations of the socialist cause, in one way or another.

When Stalin denounced fascism as right wing, it immediately became the dogma of the intellectual and academic community, because Stalin was considered the father of socialism.

It was not until recently that anybody dared to even question this unshakable dogma of the left wing.
