It’s asshats like this prize douche nugget who are trying to convince people that hitler was really a hippy atheist and the Nazis were all militant homosexuals and that the whole modern version of the Nazis is just a left wing conspiracy to tarnish good god fearing Christian conservatives.
Seriously 😐
Fascism, is a variant of socialism (national socialism). There is nothing 'far right' about it. Stalin called it 'right wing socialism'.
Jonah Goldberg's book 'Liberal Fascism', is very good on the history.

The quote below is from Daniel Hannan:
>Above all, though, the BNP is used as an indirect weapon against the mainstream Right. You will have noticed that the party is almost never mentioned without the soubriquet "far Right". The BNP doesn't call itself Right-wing, of course. It favours nationalisation, higher taxes, protectionism and (though it keeps quiet about this) republicanism. It markets itself as "the Labour Party your parents voted for". Its manifesto calls for "the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports," and promises to "restore our economy and land to British ownership" and "to give workers a stake in the success and prosperity of the enterprises whose profits their labour creates by encouraging worker shareholder and co-operative schemes".
>As Hayek wrote in 1944 in his brilliant chapter on "the socialist roots of Nazism", the dispute between fascists and socialists is a dispute between brothers. Labour and the BNP are, in a sense, competing for the same sort of voter: one who believes in the power of the state. The one kind of voter whom both fascists and socialists regard as beyond persuasion is the small-government Tory.
>The real purpose of banging on about the "far-Right BNP" is to damage, by association, the Conservatives. If hurting the Tories means giving the BNP enough free publicity to keep it alive, it's a price some Lefties seem happy to pay.
